Setting fetch URIs for portupgrade

Hi all,
I am running FreeBSD 5.1 Release. I updated all sources, ports and docs
by cvsup. I am trying to do a binary upgrade of my system by installing
latest packages. I run: portupgrade -aPPR. fetch phase fails to get
packages because it goes to a wrong site:
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5.1-release/All
OTOH I can see that the latest packages that portupgrade trying to fetch
are located here:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-stable/All
How can I change URIs where fetch is looking for the latest packages?
Setting PKG_SITES environment variable doesn't have any effect. Editing
/usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf to set PKG_SITES also doesn't change where
fetch is going. Handbook, man pages, googling, etc didn't find any
references regarding how to configure fetch URIs. I don't want to
compile everything through ports because life is short. What should I do?
Thanks a lot,
Andrew
