How did you invoke the build? portmaster and portupgrade are supposed to
look into /usr/ports/MOVED before proceeding. If they don't then you're
probably treading the unsupported territory[1] or encountered a bug.

[1] All installed packages should be upgraded together. Limiting upgrade
    to just one package is a recipe for trouble. Ditto for port updates.
