Try manually rebuilding portupgrade and the ports that depend on it.

My -current ports are old, but do something like this:

   # pkg_which /usr/local/sbin/portupgrade
   portupgrade-devel-2.3.0_5

   # pkg_info -r portupgrade-devel-2.3.0_5
   Information for portupgrade-devel-2.3.0_5:

   Depends on:
   Dependency: db41-4.1.25_4
   Dependency: ruby-1.8.6,1
   Dependency: perl-5.8.8
   Dependency: ruby18-bdb-0.6.0

   # pkg_info -oq db41-4.1.25_4 ruby-1.8.6,1 perl-5.8.8 ruby18-bdb-0.6.0
   databases/db41
   lang/perl5.8
   lang/ruby18
   databases/ruby-bdb

So you'd rebuild those 4 ports and ports-mgmt/portupgrade.  According
to  a recent post, you might only need to rebuild the ruby related ports
and portupgrade.

Disclaimer: I have not gone through this, just reiterating what I saw
in a recent post.
