I agree, this is nasty.

Or another way if you don't use INDEX like me.

============================================
# echo $PORTS_INDEX
/usr/ports/INDEX.dummy

# ls -l /usr/ports/INDEX.dummy
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  0 Nov 26 13:12 /usr/ports/INDEX.dummy
============================================

As you can see that my INDEX.dummy is always empty and portupgrade will  
not bother to poke around with the INDEX. Warning, portversion and very  
few other will not work without a real INDEX, but I never need those  
thought.

Cheers,
