I am making a guess here that "Unknown modifier 't'" is an output from a make(1) command, which indicates to me that the ports tree has already been adapted to use the new make(1) available starting with 10.X.

Support for 9.X-only components is starting to be removed, so that the ports committers only have to support 3 major branches (10, 11, 12) instead of 4.

I think if you are going to continue to run ports on 9.3, which went EOL on December 31st, you're probably going to have to revert your tree to:

  https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/tags/RELEASE_9_EOL/

and then start merging whatever changes you need from the latest tree, back to your 9_EOL tree.

Support for 9.X has been dropped.  Since there has been no response to this PR for several months, close.
