My guess would be that you did not build/install world/kernel. So the
package system still defaults to your 5.3 release branch. The
sources/ports you updated must be for the development brach
FreeBSD-5.X, also known as FreeBSD 5-STABLE "RELENG 5"

Check your CVSUP configuration (supfile).
if default tag=RELENG_5 then you are tracking 5.4 STABLE and you need
to buildworld/kernel and install (check the handbook).

If you don't whant to buildworld/kernel then change "tag=RELENG_5" to
"tag=RELENG_5_3", cvsup again and your sources/ports well be the same
as PACKAGES (the older ones)
