Uninstall all the packages that were installed from the above
PACKAGEROOT, then set PACKAGEROOT to either:

ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-7.0-release/Latest

or

ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-7-stable/Latest

The packages you had installed were built for FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT,
they are not compatible with FreeBSD 7.0.

Also, make sure that /var/tmp has the permissions 1777 set:

# ls -l /var/ | grep tmp
drwxrwxrwt  12 root    wheel   1536 Nov 16 10:56 tmp
