Normally there is a way to denote that the second instance of the word
"file" maps directly to the argument "file", usually via some kind of
typesetting. We don't have that possibility here, and there are clearly
at least two ways to interpret that sentence, so I'd suggest we come up
with an alternative way that makes it clear what is intended.

-f index_file Use the index file, index_file, instead of
/usr/ports/INDEX.
