i noticed this sort of problem a day or so ago.
# lintpkgsrc -D pkgsrc/x11/gnome-python 2>/dev/null | grep PKGNAME
PKGNAME = UNDEFINED-gnome-1.4.0
# grep PKGNAME pkgsrc/x11/gnome-python/Makefile
# lintpkgsrc -D pkgsrc/x11/gnome-python 2>/dev/null | grep PYPKGPREFIX
teach lintpkgsrc how to parse more of pkgsrc/lang/python/*.mk,
or maybe how to do the kind of lazy variable evaluation that
make does (maybe it already does this...i dunno).
afiact, they seem to use constructs that lintpkgsrc doesn't
try "lintpkgsrc -E file" and grep for UNDEF in file
