Better suggestion:  Ask your question on an appropriate list such
as freebsd-ports at freebsd.org or freebsd-questions at freebsd.org since
this list charter does not include answering technical questions.

That being said, have you been reading and following instructions
in /usr/ports/UPDATING after each cvsup?  Some of the errors you are
seeing sound familar.  Have you searched the mailing list archives
to see if similar problems have been encountered?  These are some
of the things you should do before asking on the preceeding lists.

Good Luck,

Randy

PS.  You might want to get a real name.  This isn't slashdot.
