Did you follow the rest of the instructions, and enable OPTIONS:

./tc configOptions -e -o /options

What is the output of:

./tc configOptions

Sounds like a port bug to me, but the log would definitely be helpful.
On the other hand, this may be an issue with the generated Makefile
being out of sync with the Build environment.  When the Makefile is
generated, the make.conf used will be the one in the Jail directory
(e.g. /space/jails/JAIL/make.conf).  If that file doesn't exist, or you
don't want to set your options there, then you need to use a .env file
(e.g. portstree.env, build.env, jail.env).

This might change.  It would probably make more sense for makemake to
check /space/build/BUILD/make.conf, but that's not how it works now.

Then simply creating an options file won't help.  Looks like the
make.conf approach is the way to go, but the port may be broken with
GTK2.
