See the end of /usr/ports/infrastructure/templates/Makefile.template:

# Fix dos line-endings in files needing patches
#pre-patch:
# @cd ${WRKSRC} && perl -i -pe 's/\r$$//' [...]

As the comment suggests, I wouldn't bother fixing line endings except
in files needing patches, or perhaps user-facing plaintext documentation.
