The patch was only applied to RELENG_4, RELENG_5 and HEAD -- not
RELENG_5_2.

However, you can extract it from cvs and apply it yourself by hand if
you aren't in a position to upgrade right now -- see:

    http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/lib/libc/db/btree/bt_split.c.diff?r1=1.5&r2=1.7

(Remember that you'll have to re-apply that patch each time you
cvsup(1) your src)

Otherwise just use one of the variations on:

    setenv PORTS_DBDRIVER=bdb1_hash

as a workaround.

	Cheers,
