When I see this, it's because there's some missing 'x' bits in
pkgsrc/mk (cvs doesn't always preserve x bits properly, it seems).
These files should be executable:
#find mk -perm -o+x -type f
mk/buildlink3/show-buildlink3.sh
mk/checksum/checksum
mk/checksum/distinfo.awk
mk/extract/extract
mk/fetch/fetch
mk/gnu-config/config.guess  
mk/gnu-config/config.sub
mk/gnu-config/missing
mk/pbulk/pbulk.sh
mk/pkgformat/pkg/list-dependencies
mk/pkgformat/pkg/reduce-depends.awk
mk/pkgformat/pkg/reduce-resolved-depends.awk
mk/pkgformat/pkg/register-dependencies
mk/pkgformat/pkg/resolve-dependencies
mk/pkginstall/usergroup-check
mk/plist/doc-compress
mk/plist/libtool-expand
mk/scripts/binpkg-cache
mk/scripts/binpkg-scan
