Stuart's suggestion with the MODGO_LDFLAGS was correct. I forgot to do a `make clean=all` before trying it. Thanks!

The issue I linked before only happens when building it manually from a git clone — so not relevant. Our ports build is probably calling `go build` directly, bypassing their Makefile.

I'm attaching the updated port directory.
