portupgrade weirdness

[Nelis Lamprecht]

Replying to my own message.

For the archives, the problem below was caused because my local cvsup
mirror was not in sync with the INDEX file I downloaded from the main
FreeBSD site. Sorry, should have checked a specific port version
Makefile before posting the question.
