I fixed this issue a couple of days ago. I googled and read that it was 
probably due to having several db4* packages installed (db4, db41 and 
db42).

I then removed db4 and db41 (no packages were depending on neither) with 
pkg-delete. I was actually surprised to find that I had several db4* 
packages installed so I figured I should replace all of them with the 
latest (db44).

I then replaced db42 with db44:
portmaster -o /usr/ports/databases/db44 db42-4.2.52_4

Then figured out what depended on db44:
pkg_info -Rr 'db44*'

   Information for db44-4.4.20.2:

   Depends on:
   Required by:
   apr-db42-1.2.7_1
   nicotine-1.0.8_1
   portupgrade-2.1.3.2,2
   py24-bsddb-2.4.3_2
   ruby18-bdb-0.5.9

Rebuild each by running portmaster for each and everyone of those.

Voila! Everything was working perfectly again (including portupgrade) :-)
