 I have the same problem.
 
 
 The fix is to put the following into /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf:
 
    ENV['PORTS_DBDRIVER'] = 'bdb1_hash'
 
 Then do:
 
    portsdb -fu
    pkgdb -fu

 How, they wonder, did so many [American] conservatives, who
 normally don't trust their government to run a public school down
 the street, come to believe that federal bureaucrats could
 transform an entire nation in the alien culture of the Middle East?
