Nelis,
First I think he might have to go re-install portupgrade.
Xu--as root, perform the following steps:
cd /tmp
tar cvf etc.tar /usr/local/etc/
cd /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade
make install && make clean
portupgrade -farRx bsdpan-
This will force reinstallation of all your ports. This will take *forever*.
And, just in case, we've tarred up your /usr/local/etc directory so you
have a backup in /tmp!
Good luck!!
Best,
