I think you may have some luck installing an up to date make(1) and

I built and installed make from a RELENG_8_3 src tree.
Getting dialog was a bit harder because it requires libdialog and
libncurses. I built a static-linked dialog on an RELENG_8_3 box and
dropped that in place.
Actually it appears the dialog binary doesn't work at all because I
forgot the 6.x can't run an 8.x binary. Without a working dialog
binary, the ports system silently fails. I did a make config on a port
and it just gave me "options unchanged" and completed the config target
without giving an error.
Make (even with an 8.3 make) complains of malformed conditionals in the
src/gnu subtree, so I'm stuck on that one until I have time to dig.
Reverting /usr/bin/dialog to the RELENG_6 binary makes config dialogs in
ports work just fine.
