Yeah, don't do this. :) If you already have the link you don't need to
set PORTSDIR (and in fact you shouldn't, it will create more problems
than it solves, as you've seen). I haven't had my ports tree actually in
/usr/ for years, but there is a link to the actual location which works
just fine for all purposes.
