Hi, I have similar problem and find solution in portupgrade man page:
--
     Sometimes a database may get corrupt and the pkgtools commands start to
     abort due to segmentation fault.  In such cases, run ``pkgdb -fu'' to
     rebuild the database, and the problems will go away.  If the command
     failed itself, remove a database file (/var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db) and run it
     again.
