Files in ports tree and INDEX are out of sync, because of the -I in
portsnap command. The -I updates INDEX only!
man portsnap:
-I For the update command, update INDEX files, but not the rest
of the ports tree.
That's why portupgrade -a cannot upgrade anything, because ports tree
doesn't have updated files.
Solution:
portsnap fetch update
(This will update both INDEX + files)

PS: do not redirect output of the portsnap command to /dev/null and you
will see, what portsnap is doing :)
