I used to have issues with portupgrade as well. I traced my problem to
using the wrong portupgrade. I have been using portupgrade for several
months without an issue ( except the Xorg 7 transition ). Make sure to
use
/usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portupgrade
and not
/usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade
I also follow the following port method, as per the handbook suggestion:
portsnap fetch
portsnap update
method. This has worked without an issue for me. I am running FreeBSD
6.2-RELEASE-p8.
I hope this helps.
