On April 15th obrien changed this from /var/db/pkg/.mkversion to
/var/db/port.mkversion, but only in releng_3 and head. If you
apply this patch in src/share/mk/ and remove /var/db/pkg/.mkversion
it should all work out. If you don't want to rebuild world to get the
new file there, just run the date command shown below.
This should be committed some time.
