Comment (by kprussing):

 I went ahead and rebooted and was about to blow away /tmp when I noticed a
 key distinction:
 {{{
 % ls -ld /tmp
 lrwxr-xr-x@ 1 root  wheel  11 Feb  4 11:57 /tmp -> private/tmp
 % ls -ld /tmp/
 drwxrwxrwt  15 root  wheel  480 Mar  7 22:46 /tmp/
 }}}
 (note the trailing `/` on the second command). So /tmp was indeed a
 symlink all along. (classic user relying on tab completion error...)

 I 100% agree that altering the build of the port is a bad idea. I was just
 trying to hunt down what was going on to cause the problem. Redirecting
 stderr felt hacky and "not the right thing". That hack would hide if
 something was legitimately wrong ultimately causing bigger problems down
 the road.
