Your makefile worked for me without any problems at installation.
.include "../../textproc/enchant/buildlink3.mk"
was needed for the build to pass.
For me it installs the abiword binary into ${DESTDIR}/usr/pkg/bin and I
tried to run it after package install and it work for me.
I can't reproduce your problem. Is this the only package where this
happens to you. Have you tried to build another package that uses gnu
configure and see if the same happens to it?
The system I tried to build on was NetBSD-6.1.5 and pkgsrc-2014Q3.
