Portupgrade builds fine, but I have my locale set to UTF-8 and in that 
case the pkgdb breaks and portupgrade no longer works:

...
root@yokozuna:/home/marco# pkgdb -FfO
--->  Checking the package registry database
invalid byte sequence in UTF-8
...

When the locale is set to the standard C the error changes to "invalid 
byte sequence in US-ASCII".

I have this error for a very long time and after a lot of searching 
and fiddling with the locale settings have no idea how to solve this.

Ruby18 worked fine so that would be the best option imo.

Regards,

Marco
