Thank you. I thought I was losing it. I'd install portupgrade, and it
would say it installed OK, but it wouldn't be there. Same goes for perl,
and I'd guess probably most ports, certainly everything I tried to
update.

I have a zpool called 'storage' and /usr/local is 'mounted' as
/storage/usr/local.
