Can you check the files in your ports tree to see if they have the
older versions or the newer? You can either read the Makefiles or do this:

cd /usr/ports/ftp/curl
make -V PKGNAME

I suspect that somehow the INDEX file and your ports tree are out of
date, although my understanding was that this should not happen with
portsnap.

Read /usr/ports/UPDATING, you need to fix this.

I would 'rm /usr/ports/INDEX*' before doing your next portsnap update
just to be sure.
