Lauren,   It sounds like you have partially updated some ports and you 
now have a library conflict with two versions of libc. Make sure your 
ports collections is up to date (using csup ports.sup or you favorite 
method ) Then, run cd /usr/ports;make fetchindex .  Then delete 
portupgrade using pkg_delete portupgrade\* and cd 
/usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portupgrade; make install.  You may also want to 
reinstall ruby this way before reinstalling portupgrade.  After 
portupgraded is installed  rm /var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db and portupgrade will 
rebuild it.

Hope this helps you,
Ken
