This has been reported several times already, and I think it's solved
in a more recent portupgrade.
Have a look at this thread:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2007-January/038395.html
And this commit to portupgrade:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/cvs-ports/2007-February/117217.html

HTH!
