the alternate form also exposes what i believe to be a logic bug
i think you meant to use:
portsdir=$(make -V PORTSDIR 2>/dev/null) || portsdir=
ie logical OR instead of logical AND, so that you retain the output of
`make -VPORTSDIR`, and avoid using heuristics further on

ksh performs file name matching in the RHS of a parameter expansion
operator, *even during assignment*
/tmp/t $ touch foobar
/tmp/t $ v=foobar
/tmp/t $ g='foo???'
/tmp/t $ x=${v#"$g"}
/tmp/t $ echo "($x)"
(foobar)
/tmp/t $ x=${v#$g}
/tmp/t $ echo "($x)"
