I'd just like to thank stas@ and everyone who replied with suggestions, code etc. I believe that I now have something workable and it's been submitted to portmgr for review and possible inclusion in bsd.port.mk along with some new features of my own. Hopefully, this will fix a long standing problem with copytree_*.
