Probably your OPSYS is not defined yet. Most other packages use:

.include "../../mk/bsd.prefs.mk" 

(prior to the if condition)

See pkgsrc/mk/bsd.prefs.mk which says:

# Packages should include this file before any of the .if directives, as
# well as before modifying variables like CFLAGS, LDFLAGS, and so on.
# Otherwise the behavior may be unexpected.
