You could try deleting or editing ignore.db. Mine's in 
/usr/local/share/portmanager/. Also check 
/usr/local/etc/portmanager/pm-020.conf.

Does make run ok inside each ports directory? Just so you know nothing's 
really broken. Maybe delete any work directory before and after.

There is a note in the man page about not interrupting it at some 
critical stage.
