Dan, there's a lower bandwidth way to solve this, which I've posted many times when this problem first appeared (because it happened to me).

If it's wrong, just rm -rf /usr/ports/* Why do this???? The only thing wrong here is that he's got pkg/ and patches/ still hanging around, probably in a few ports. Instead: cd /usr/ports/ && rm -rf */*/work */*/patches Done. No need to regrab the ENTIRE ports ball. All you've done is type a few lines and CVSup will now work properly and keep things updated.
