Do
pkg_version -vl"<"
&
pkg_version -vIl"<"
give different results?  (note that's an uppercase "i" followed by a
lowercase "L" in case your screen font makes it hard to tell)
I believe portupgrade uses the INDEX-* files to determine, whereas
pkg_version uses the /usr/ports/*/*/distinfo file (unless -I is provided).
