Reread what Kris replied, especially the part that says: "It's now 
contained in the base system," then read the message from when you try 
to make from the ports system: "===> portsnap-1.0 now contained in the 
base system." What that all means is that since you deinstalled the 
port, you are done. Finished. Nothing more to do. Nothing tricky 
needed. Just use portsnap v1.0
