Fix: 

I haven't looked at many other ports to know if this is obvious, but if you 
cd work/C*
grep root *

you see they use install -o root -g wheel and I think the port, like, installs into the work dir during build, which judging by the path .libs, I think is normal. So the fix I think might be to patch their files to remove the -o root -g wheel. Then I don't know if real install works, if it requires those.
How-To-Repeat: cd /usr/ports/devel/commoncpp
chown -R notroot:notroot *
make
