I think you have an old port structure. You might have a readme.html left over 
or something. On a curent cvsup, I get the following

# cd /usr/ports/x11-fm/nautilus
/usr/ports/x11-fm/nautilus: No such file or directory.

I think you should probably be using

Port:   nautilus2-2.4.1
Path:   /usr/ports/x11-fm/nautilus2
Info:   GNOME file manager and graphical shell developed by Eazel
