* What is the value of LOCALBASE? I'm not finding any definition, or other reference, in /etc/make.conf.

Just set it to ${LOCALBASE} verbatim. Not what you think is the value of the variable LOCALBASE but the word ${LOCALBASE}.

Academic interest :)

I'm finding it especially "interesting" that /etc/make.conf, which to judge from its location is part of the base, depends on a setting from something in the /usr/ports tree.

No, the ports tree uses make(1), a base utility and the global configuration file for make is /etc/make.conf. So the ports tree depends on a base utility.
