Looks like you're running ports in a jail. The best way to do that is to
set OSVERSION in /etc/make.conf. Some jail managers will even do that for

cat /etc/make.conf

OSVERSION+=1100122
UNAME_ENV+= OSVERSION=${OSVERSION}
UNAME_ENV+= UNAME_s=FreeBSD
UNAME_ENV+= UNAME_r=11.0-RELEASE
UNAME_ENV+= UNAME_v="${UNAME_s} ${UNAME_r}"

MAKE_ENV+= ${UNAME_ENV}
CONFIGURE_ENV+= ${UNAME_ENV}

Looks like you're running ports in a jail.  The best way to do that is to
set OSVERSION in /etc/make.conf.  Some jail managers will even do that for
 > cat /etc/make.conf
OSVERSION+=1100122
UNAME_ENV+=     OSVERSION=${OSVERSION}
UNAME_ENV+=     UNAME_s=FreeBSD
UNAME_ENV+=     UNAME_r=11.0-RELEASE
UNAME_ENV+=     UNAME_v="${UNAME_s} ${UNAME_r}"

If you're running a freebsd 11 jail on a freebsd 12 host, the best
solution is to set osrelease and osreldate in your jail config to
reflect the 11.x userland you want the jail to implement. Then all the
values returned by uname and various sysctls will be consistently
correct within the jail. For example, on a 10.3 host I have a jail:

fb8 {
    host.hostname = "${name}.hippie.lan";
    ip4.addr = 172.22.42.241;
    persist = true;
    devfs_ruleset = 100;
    osrelease="8.4-STABLE";
    osreldate= 804507;
}

uname -K plugged into that template fixed the port error message.
Thanks!

I do exactly the same in my jails to better isolate them from the host.
In fact, you can even lie about what (os)version you're using, if you
need to. :-)
