The latest ports tree won't compile stuff for 5.X. Use the following line in your ports-supfile to get the last ports tree that was supported in 5.X: *default release=cvs tag=RELEASE_5_EOL instead of *default release=cvs tag=. Still, since this is going to be really old you may still have problems (missing distfiles and so on). But is worth trying if you must stay with 5.X for whatever reason.
