Regarding failures of portsdb -Uu  after using a refuse file, I've found 
getting things to work seems possible if you refuse (say)
/ports/japanese

and then completely remove
/usr/ports/japanese

rm -r /usr/ports/japanese

then portsdb seems to work ok. Note leaving even an empty top directory 
still makes portsdb crash.
