Thanks for the responses.  I found that my INDEX was bad.  I tried
deleting the file and then running make index but that kept failing.
Finally I deleted my entire ports tree and the directory cvsup used to
keep track of updates.  Then I ran cvsup.  Finally I ran portsdb -uU to
make the new index files.  Everything looks good now.

I'm sure my approach was drastic and would appreciate knowing how I
could have fixed this instead of blowing everything away and starting
over.

Thanks,

Drew
