sqlite3 fails to build on new macos/macports installation (NAWK variable empty)

Description
I just installed macports for the first time on a new mac system, and when I tried to port install sqlite3 (indirectly, as a dependency of subversion), it failed to build with errors that looked like incomplete commands (starting with -f ..).
After further investigation I found an empty NAWK variable in the sqlite makefile (NAWK=) which caused rules of the form: $(NAWK) -f whatever, to be issued as: -f whatever.
When I filled in this variable and tried to install the port again, everything worked fine.

This is biting a lot of people running Leopard, and for whatever reason, simply attempting the install again fixes it.
#14938 may be the same problem.

Thanks for reporting this. I've experienced the same problem. For the sake of completeness, can you specify what you filled in the NAWK variable with (awk or gawk)?
Many thanks,
