Yes, there is. As far as I can tell from what you've given, you're 
depending on INDEX-5 to be up to date after your ports upgrade. I 
don't believe it is and you need to run make index or some other 
means of getting INDEX-5 to be up to date..

Try this experiment:
cvsup your ports
note the date and size of /usr/ports/INDEX-5
run " portversion -vL=" or portversion -rRvc
keep track of that output
now cd /usr/ports
make index
note the date and size of INDEX-4
run portversion -vL= or portverstion -rRvc

I think you'll see a lot more of your installed stuff needs 
updating.
