Problems with the ports collection

I just installed FreeBSD from the 5.2.1 ISO. After installing
the necessities, I downloaded the latest ports.tar.gz from
freebsd.org, extracted the ports, and did a "make index" from
the ports directory. At this point I did "make install" from
x11/kde3. Since then I have installed firefox, gaim, and a
few other ports. Then, I noticed that I didn't have kmail,
and found that it is part of the kdepim port, so I tried
installing it. At some point it requires gpg-error.1, during
which I get:
===> libgcrypt-1.2.0_1 depends on shared library:
gpg-error.1 - not found
===> Verifying install for gpg-error.1 in
/usr/ports/security/libgpg-error
===> Vulnerability check disabled
>> libgpg-error-1.0.tar.gz doesn't seem to exist in
/usr/ports/distfiles/.
>> Attempting to fetch from
ftp://gd.tuwien.ac.at/privacy/gnupg/libgpg-error/.

===> Extracting for libgpg-error-1.0

===> Patching for libgpg-error-1.0
===> libgpg-error-1.0 depends on file:

===> libgpg-error-1.0 depends on shared library: intl - found
===> Configuring for libgpg-error-1.0
cp: /usr/ports/security/libgpg-error/work/libgpg-error-1.0
/usr/ports/security/libgpg-error/work/libgpg-error-1.0/config.guess:
No such file or directory
*** Error code 1
When installing other ports, I find that I get similar errors,
involving a "config.guess" file.
Trying various things, I decided to run "portsdb -Uu", and got:
portsdb -Uu

[BUG] Bus Error

At this point I am completely clueless as to what to try next.
I can't seem to install any ports, and I don't know how to
get my ports collection back to a usable state, or what I did
to break it in the first place. Of course, I will be happy to
provide any addition information. I would appreciate any help
that may be offered.
