I followed Matthew Seaman's instructions, except that there was no 
'portmanager.core' file created. The file that was created was 
'pmStatus.core'. I assume that is the file that I am to work with.

In any event, I ran 'portmanager' to create the core dump, Next I ran 'gdb' 
which produced the following output:

root at rcn 
$gdb /usr/ports/sysutils/portmanager/work/portmanager-0.2.0/portmanager/portmanager

I hope that this proves to be of some use.
