I tested and compared results on FreeBSD 9.0 and FreeBSD 9.1-RC3 (done here
earlier) and this is a summary.
Please review it, in particular the conclusions, as they are intended to be
the base for filing a PR#.

Test on FreeBSD 9.0

The result shows that after this step:

/tmp/d-32794-index/INDEX-9.bz2                100% of 1615 kB  173 kBps
the uncompressed INDEX-9 
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  26665016 Nov 28 09:12 /usr/ports/INDEX-9
is different from the prior "original" INDEX-9
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  26777464 Nov 28 09:07 /usr/ports/INDEX-9
The cause of it could be:
- either portmaster gets identical size-wise, but not necessarily content-wise
  INDEX-9.bz2
- or portmaster uncompresses INDEX-9.bz2 incorectly and loses some content
