Better would be a full definition for ${workpath}. Do these things exist under `build' or `source' or `distfiles' or where? I'm not talking some esoteric locations here.

Run:

sudo port extract zlib
port work zlib

The path it prints out is zlib's ${workpath}. I'm not going to say here verbatim what it is because it varies depending on your ${prefix} and where your ports tree is on your disk.

And ${worksrcpath} is just ${workpath}/${worksrcdir}.
