I tried CVSup'ing my /home/ncvs mirror of FreeBSD's sources.  Then, I
removed my /usr/ports directory and did a:

    # cd /usr
    # cvs checkout -R -d /home/ncvs checkout ports

to get myself a checkout of the most recent ports/ tree.  I still get
the same error, and /usr/ports/net/netcat contains:

    # cd /usr/ports/net/netcat ; ls -R
    /usr/ports/net/netcat
    CVS/		distinfo	patches/	pkg-comment	pkg-plist
    Makefile	files/		pkg/		pkg-descr

That's what I tried to avoid when I removed (rm -fr) my old /usr/ports
before the last checkout of ports/, but it didn't seem to change
anything.  It seems my /home/ncvs is in a funny state, though, because
other ports have more strange problems.  For instance, when I do:

    # cd /usr/ports/net/ircII
    # make
    make: no target to make.
    # ls Makefile
    ls: Makefile: no such file or directory

I think I need to check what my supfile has brought to my /home/ncvs
lately.
