This is how to fix:

# svn propdel svn:keywords pkg-plist
# svn propset fbsd:nokeywords yes pkg-plist

The plist should not have the keywords.

http://wiki.freebsd.org/PortsSubversionPrimer has some auto-props you
can use to do this automatically. I've had issues with this working, but
just follow the props as layed out there for the files listed.
