It is not used by portmaster, it can be safely deleted. Even if you
start using portupgrade again, it will have to be rebuilt anyway. There
is no reason you cannot have portmaster + some other ports management
tool (like portupgrade) installed. The only thing you can't do is run
them simultaneously (i.e., at the exact same time). You can easily
upgrade one thing with portmaster, then when portmaster exits update
something else with another tool.

I explained that in my previous post, if the explanation isn't clear,
let me know. Meanwhile, thanks for bringing this to my attention.
