you should instruct ports infrastructure how to gain root's privileges. Else it
will just try "as it" (and fail if run as normal user).
as you are using doas(1), you should add
SUDO = doas
in your /etc/mk.conf file.
And after that, running "make install" (as user), will automatically invoke
pkg_add(8) with doas(1). So you don't have to run "doas make install", but only
"make install".
you could see mk.conf(5) and bsd.port.mk(5) man pages for more details.
Thanks.
