If you are redoing some of this, seriously consider portupgrade. It makes updating ports much easier. It doesn't change building and initially installing a port but the port system is continuously changing thing. You have to run "portsdb -u" to create the INDEX.db, which is used by the portupgrade tools. Some people use "portsdb -uU" to generate both but I still use "make index". FWIW, the current INDEX is 8-days old and INDEX-5 is over 7-weeks old. Bind9 was moved to ../dns five weeks ago. So, the change would be in one of the INDEXs and not the other. Once you start rebuilding the INDEX files, consider adding ports/ INDEX[-5] to your ports-all refuse file. It doesn't make sense to redownload them everytime you cvsup and then rebuild them.
