Unbreak news/nn on -current. From patch-submission:
    news/nn doesn't build on -CURRENT because 'cc -E' now emits
    blanks instead of keeping the tabs when generating the intermediate
    makefile, so some unexpansion is called for. Fix $CC & $MAKE
    while we're at it.  Patch works on -STABLE, too.

Remove FORBIDDEN.  I fixed the referenced bug two months ago
with patch-global.c, and nn-6.6.4's ChangeLog says,
``
From: Jacques A. Vidrine <nectar@FreeBSD.org>
       nn has a remote security hole.  Fixed.
''

Mark FORBIDDEN:  the author of nn says it has a remote security bug
(which I have not confirmed on FreeBSD).

noticed by:  Neils Heinen

Repair some clearly incorrect code found while looking
for problems similar to the previous vulnerability.

Lay off the crack and bump PORTREVISION properly.

Fix remotely exploitable format string vulnerability.

Mark FORBIDDEN due to remotely exploitable format string vulnerability.

upgrade to 6.6.2    

Preserve files in etc/. Change pkg-install to avoid overwriting them at  
install time.    

Fix plist    

Change PKGDIR from pkg/ to .  Also fix places where ${PKGDIR} is   spelled out
(many of which are ${PKGDIR}/MESSAGE -> ${PKGMESSAGE} type   fixes that
shouldn't have been necessary) and the string "/pkg/"   appear.
