pkgtools.conf is the configuration file for portupgrade. Unfortunately the 
developer of portmanager accepted some code from a user that enabled 
portmanager to read some configuration from pkgtools.conf. Most of the things 
that go in this file are better defined directly in make.conf, or using 
sysutils/portconf, because they aren't specific to any build tool.

I would suggest you replace the file with the sample and try again. If that 
fails try replacing it with an empty file
