You need to update your ports. Read the handbook. I would strongly
suggest the "portsnap" utility, now standard equipment with 6.x. I
feel like a dumb shit because I just discovered it yesterday, and had
been using the much slower and ackward cvsup method.
Basically, delete your current /usr/ports; portsnap fetch; portsnap
extract; portsnap update. Repeat the fetch & update as needed in the future.
Ports currently has 3.0.21b but '22 should be available in a couple
days. I forget the details, but it was a fairly obscure security
patch I wasn't worried about.
