pkg_tarup was removed from the ports tree.
pkg_deinstall -f pkg_tarup-1.2_3 && portupgrade -f portupgrade-20020920
if you're worried about the functionality of it, note the commit message
given when the port got removed:
Retire pkg_tarup. pkg_create(1) has the feature (-b pkgname) to
create a package file out of an installed package, since
4.5-RELEASE.
