Howdy, Have a look in bsd.port.mk for the version number that it needs to build with. Then make a copy of /var/db/port.mkversion. Edit /var/db/port.mkversion with the version number that bsd.port.mk requires. I had this same problem when the 34upgrade package had been altered with a new version number, but had not been released as a new package...
