That seems odd, actually.  I did a portsnap fetch then portsnap update
yesterday (albeit for 5-STABLE), which deleted a bunch of moved ports,
including sysutils/portupgrade, as well as adding the ports-mgmt ones.

I did have to do what Matthew and others have suggested, frankly a bit
more helpful to me than the 20070205: clue in /usr/ports/UPDATING ..

    # pkgdb -F
    # pkg_delete portupgrade-\*
    # cd /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portupgrade
    # make install

.. but that was after noticing that pkgdb -F was already whinging that
it couldn't chdir to /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade, so I'm surprised
that portsnap fetch plus portsnap update hadn't deleted it for you too?
