If I am not mistaken (I could very well be mistaken); the index file

Not anymore.  It used to be the case.  The cost of maintaining it in that
form proved to be too high.

That whole chapter needs a lot of help :-/

   Hello Mark,
   I realize that I sent this email quite some time ago.  I had been
   meaning to write something on the subject at hand (ie: index files).
   I did some rough writing for a FreeBSD wiki.  Not sure if the doc
   project would be interested in said content.  If so; I can rewrite it
   and try to submit it to the documentation project.
   The link in question:
   Putting the pieces together for portupgrade
   [1]http://www.freebsdwiki.net/index.php/Portupgrade
   My apologies if I sent this email not using the properly established
   communications channels.
   Regards,
   Pete
