i 'm having this same problem :(  tried everything that is mentioned in
here but to no avail. i even tried make deinstall and make reinstall and it
didnt work, pkg_delete wont work coz it cant find portupgrade. pls help

i fixed the problem, i saw a solution in one of the threads and it is now
ok. here is what i did:

# cd /var/db/pkg/
# mv pkgdb.db pkgdb.db.orig
# pkgdb -fu

everything went back to normal, portupgrade port was the problem as stated
by the maintainer.
