After installing sysutils/portindex, have a look 
in /usr/local/share/doc/portindex/README.txt

Looks like this is all old news

Possible problems with portsdb -u
=================================

If portsdb -u fails because of bug in Ruby, delete incorrectly
created INDEX.db file and reorder lines in INDEX file. Ruby is sensitive
to order of lines in INDEX file. With index generated by original
make index procedure Ruby can still crash, but less likely.

#Method 0
Use portindexdb program. Works fast and nicely. Of course, categories
are not generated, so if you are using in ignore by category feature
in pkgtools.conf....

#Method 1
Use script like this:

``
sort < INDEX-5 > INDEX-5.sorted
mv INDEX-5.sorted INDEX-5
``

#Method 2
Or you can install ports textproc/rl and misc/inplace. Then use
``
inplace rl /usr/ports/INDEX-5

Sort method work better than rl for avoiding Ruby bug, use rl method only
if sort method failed.

This Ruby problem is reported
in PR http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=66222

Have a nice day
Bug reports are very welcome
