I can't seem to install quite a few apps from ports. I'm running 
5.4-RELEASE with security patches installed (via freebsd-update). I 
update ports with portsnap. I have updated a few times today.

Example:
# cd /usr/ports/sysutils/smartmontools
# make install clean
Makefile error: your port uses an old layout.  Please update it to match 
this bsd.port.mk.  If you have updated your ports collection via cvsup 
and are still getting this error, see Q12 and Q13 in the cvsup FAQ on 
http://www.polstra.com for further information.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/sysutils/smartmontools.


The FAQ is useless. I've googled for similar errors, no relevant 
results. Any ideas?
