This is something that must be fixed before 5.0-R (and probably before 5.0-DP2, which is already late). I'm going to add a /usr/ports/INDEX-5 to support this (with associated bsd.port.mk changes). I don't think this should affect packages (or sysinstall) since that will use whatever INDEX file is distributed with the package sets (and those are freshly-generated by the package builds and therefore always correct no matter what). I hope to get to this over the weekend, but if someone else can submit a patch it will help me.
