a `ls /usr/ports/games/xblast-beta` will show why.

The port got removed, but you most certainly have a README.html in it,
who deasn't exist in cvs, so is wasn't deleted by cvsup, so the dir
exists but with no Makefile in it `make describe` fails.

This quick and un-elegant script will remove those kind of scripts:

#!/bin/sh

PORTS_CATEG_DIRS=`find /usr/ports/ -type d -maxdepth 1`

for CURR_DIR in ${PORTS_CATEG_DIRS}
do
        echo ${CURR_DIR}
        CURR_PORTS_DIR=`find ${CURR_DIR} -type d -maxdepth 1`
        for CURR_PORT in ${CURR_PORTS_DIR}
        do
                if [ -f ${CURR_PORT}/README.html ]
                then
                        FILES_NO=`ls -1 ${CURR_PORT} | wc -l | sed '/ /s///g'`
                        if [ "${FILES_NO}" -eq "1" ]
                        then
                                rm -R ${CURR_PORT}
                                echo -e "\t rm'ed ${CURR_PORT}"
                        fi
                fi
        done
done
