That's a bug in portupgrade(1).  Or rather it /was/ a bug in
portupgrade -- I believe a fix was released within 24 hours.

Anyhow, to avoid the problem, simply edit your
/usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf file and make sure that it contains the
new BEFOREDEINSTALL hash.  Refer to the pkgtools.conf.sample file for
details.

	Cheers,
