In bsd.port.mk HOME is set to this value and added to MAKE_ENV, so whenever a port tries to write to $HOME, it tries writing to foobar_writes_to_HOME which does not exist and results in the warning printed.

This is normally a sign for you to apply a patch to configure, taking care of this test. Ports should neither write to HOME nor to SYSCONFDIR or PREFIX.
