Hi, Problem solved! Here's the explanation for anyone else hitting similar problems.
pkg_info (called by make) was signal 11 segfaulting which is what caused the malformed conditionals (at line 2049) in /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk as PKGINSTALLVER was not being defined (at line 2047). As mentioned earlier I'd noticed that telnet had stopped working too. comparing ldd `which pkg_info` and ldd `which telnet` showed that (apart from the libc's), only libcrypto.so.3 was shared between these two and therefore must have become corrupted. The solution was a bit brute force (but with make not working I had little choice) - namely pull down a binary base distribution, cat all the base.aa, base.ab etc. files together, untar them and copy libcrypto.so.3 back. Luckily it worked.
