Try using cvsup to update your ports tree - the cvsup system will see
you don't have the /usr/ports/MOVED file and automatically fetch it for
you.

FYI:

[9:19:14] root at users /root# grep gd2 /usr/ports/MOVED
graphics/gd2|graphics/gd|2003-08-19|Cleanup gd-related ports

ie graphics/gd2 was moved to graphics/gd on 19th August :)

Must admit I didn't know about the MOVED file, seems to be a recent
addition along with a few more ports categories.
