The param -I checks against /usr/ports/INDEX(-n) to speed up comparing.

Do you use portsnap or cvs to update the ports tree?

portsnap should automatically update the INDEX file unless the setting in /etc/portsnap.conf was changed.

In case subversion is used, the INDEX is only updated with the following command
$> make fetchindex -C /usr/ports
