I have mostly just been fixing them by hand, but since I was whining about stuff anyway, I thought I'd mention it. :) FWIW, I have a bunch of old-style db/ports directories still in place from ports I installed before the style switch and haven't updated yet.

I sent a followup post with a bunch of errors from portindex, but I think they are related to underlying ports problems as they happened with db47 as well as db5. The resultant INDEX seems to work Ok in spite of those errors, but I haven't pushed it very hard yet.
