This has happened to most of us, including me, I've also posted this problem
not long ago and got some replies which i'll re-post here in my own words:
first of all check this thread out
http://docs.freebsd.org/mail/archive/2000/freebsd-stable/20001022.freebsd-st
able.html, it has answers to this problem, which said to delete */*/pkg and
*/*/patches in /usr/ports, but this didnt help out.
Other suggestion was to:
cd /usr/ports
rm -rf *
cvsup -f -L 2 /usr/sup/ports-supfile
..which i didnt try yet.
Others told to get an upgrade kit
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4-stable/Latest/41upgr
ade.tgz but this didnt help me out too.
Someguy just copied his /ports from his CD.
Good luck.
