I did have a fresh ports tree, and I've tried that.

Full list of what I've done:
- Installed 6.1-RELEASE from CD
- Installed cvsup
- Ran cvsup ports-all
- Attempted to install portupgrade with BDB4; ruby-bdb failed to build
- Uninstalled all ports, changed LOCALBASE to /opt and X11BASE to $LOCALBASE
- Attempted to install portupgrade with BDB4; ruby-bdb failed to build
- Uninstalled all ports, changed LOCALBASE back to /usr/local
- Installed ruby18, attempted to install ruby-bdb; ruby-bdb failed to build
- Uninstalled all ports, changed LOCALBASE back to /opt
- Installed portupgrade with BDB1.

Thanks,
Jim
