I looked at the timeline using cvsweb.cgi and I think the change to the -R 
option in 2.4.3 to "Exclude up-to-date packages" is when it stopped working 
for me at times. I thought it was a mismatch between versions of the ruby 
ports. I would force rebuild -fR portupgrade and it would go away. With the 
changes to the port system between 4 and 6 April 2009, I could make it fail 
100% trying to -rR libxcb. 

The machine that had the archive of email I had sent in 2008 died. Now, it 
looks like there is something that is being stomped on when you have too many 
dependancies. I looked at the version on my system but I don't speak Ruby :).
