It looks like a problem with /var/db/pkg.  You have time to wipe
/var/db/pkg and remove all ports?  Try portmanager before you wipe your  
ports and db.

Have you cd /usr/ports && mkae fetchindex?

chmod error?  Are you root or what?

Don't do pkgdb unattended, you may need to answer questions.  You could  
skip all this index stuff if you use portmanager.  But you need
/var/db/pkg in good condition to use pormanager, I think?
