Your ports-tree snapshot is 3 months old, way out of date - everything
in the ports goes out of date very fast.

You should use cvsup[1-12].freebsd.org for this. Make sure sure you've
got cvsup-SNAP_16_1e or better. Easiest way to do is:
# cvsup -L2 -h cvsup10.freebsd.org /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile
If you have a problem with this, report the error (in full) back to
the list.
Cheers.
