You probably got the -current port; i'm guessing that install behaves
slightly differently between 2.1.x and 2.2.  From the man page for
install from 2.1.x:

     -d      Print debugging information.  If -d is specified one or more
             times, then print the renaming steps for -C. If -d is specified
             two or more times, then warn about files that aren't installed
             with -C.

From the look of the Makefile for rsaref, it seems that the install
command is meant to create a directory, /usr/local/share/doc/rsaref,
with 555 permissions.  So i would probably recommend replacing the
install line with

    mkdir -p -m 555 /usr/local/share/doc/rsaref
