You can leave the ports and upgrade with the pear command.
set the Preferred Package State        preferred_state  [alpha|beta|stable]
the execute
# pear upgrade-all
or
# pear upgrade MDB2
should solve the problem.

I actually just have the pear port installed.
# ls -d /var/db/pkg/*pear*
/var/db/pkg/pear-1.5.0_1

and my pear-list is
# pear list
Installed packages, channel pear.php.net:

You will notice that even the pear version I'm running is newer than =20
the port and have no problems.

Just do it the way that is easier for you.  I didn't want to be =20
bothered with portupgrades on so many pear packages.

Good luck,
