That ports INDEX generated for 'make fetchindex' is not being updated is
a temporary thing, while machines are quarantined and rebuilt.  So you
could just wait for a few weeks until service is resumed.

If you just have to have an INDEX before then, then pretty much your
only option is to build your own.  You can either use 'make index' or
ports-mgmt/p5-FreeBSD-Portindex.  There are various advantages either
way; personally I prefer the latter, but then I'm biased, because I
wrote it.
