I assumed it was because the system was very old and I was upgrading from 7.0 to 9.1, although I tried in every step to upgrade the ports and failed (i.e. 7.1, 8.1, 8.2, 9.1). I wound up pkg_delete -a -f . I was going to re-install everything in Jails anyway so I was happy to delete all ports from the base sys. I can say however that the upgrade from 7.0-RELEASE to 9.1-RELEASE went very smoothly with freebsd-update, but as I mentioned above, I did it in steps. Thanks for your prompt reply! -- Alejandro Imass
