If you read the man pages of "portsdb" and "pkgdepfix" you'll see some
warnings about running those tools occasionally (?) to keep the package
database in shape.  (What's up with that?)  And, IIRC, that you do it
before using portupgrade.  Life on the (b)leading edge...

P.S. portsdb takes a very long time (30-60 min?) on my 500 MHz system.
