I am seeing similiar issues with portsnap5.
Are you pointing portsnap to update?

host -t srv _http._tcp.portsnap.freebsd.org
_http._tcp.portsnap.freebsd.org has SRV record 1 10 80 portsnap6.FreeBSD.org.
_http._tcp.portsnap.freebsd.org has SRV record 1 20 80 portsnap5.FreeBSD.org.
_http._tcp.portsnap.freebsd.org has SRV record 2 10 80 portsnap4.FreeBSD.org.
_http._tcp.portsnap.freebsd.org has SRV record 1 10 80 portsnap1.FreeBSD.org.
_http._tcp.portsnap.freebsd.org has SRV record 1 10 80 portsnap2.FreeBSD.org.
