Many people are reporting this same problem.  (not everyone, but
it is hitting a lot of people).  Try adding the following two
lines to /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf :

   ENV['PKG_DBDRIVER'] = "bdb_hash"
   ENV['PORTS_DBDRIVER'] = "bdb_hash"

Add them down where other environment variables are set, such as
   ENV['PORTSDIR'] ||= '/usr/ports'

See if that helps you.
