Well, it's doesn't seem broken here and mine is exactly like yours.
Are you using portsnap from the base distro or from the ports tree?
I was under the impression that portsnap from ports used
/usr/local/etc/portsnap.conf so you may try copying your
/etc/portsnap.conf there and see if that fixes something or any-
thing.
