The recent versions work fine for me so instead of using make
index/portsdb -U, I switched to portindex. The only risk you take is a
possible (but not very likely to happen, I suppose) corrupted INDEX file,
which you can always recreate using make index/portsdb -U or fetch from
the freebsd.org site using make fetchindex, so I think you can safely
try it.
