We do. Nuke your ports tree and get a clean copy. Don't mess with
CVSup. I've never had much luck with it, and it's always seemed a
whole heck of a lot more complicated that it needs to be. Take a
minute to read:

The time you take will be repaid sevenfold.
Or, *far* better, use packages. There are only two situations
where you should build a port from source: A) the package doesn't
exist (usually because of licensing restrictions); or ii) you need
to do some peculiar kind of customization as part of the build
process.
