Have you tried installing db42 from ports manually?  ie: (cd /usr/ports/databases/db42 && make deinstall && make clean && make install && make clean)

If that doesn't work, perhaps try installing the db42 pkg from the FreeBSD ftp servers?  Personally, I try to stay away from portupgrade or anything else that comes around claiming to make something easier that's already easy enough.  ;)
