See the thread starting with:

This change went in at the time without many noticable problems. It
seems that you've got the latest bsd.ports.mk with the expanded INDEX
format, but an older version of portupgrade which doesn't understand
the new style. Upgrade your portupgrade to the latest, and all should
be well:
% pkg_info -I portupgrade\*
portupgrade-20040701_3 FreeBSD ports/packages administration and manage=
ment tools
Cheers,
Matthew
