When portupgrade is working correctly the lock file(s) should be
removed after the database updates.  Did this by any chance start
after upgrading Ruby?  That's when my portupgrade stopped deleting the
lock files, and I've seen one post on the ports mailing list mentioning
similar symptoms after Ruby was upgraded.
