I've already suggested this to knu, but it bears repeating here: I'd 
really really really strongly advocate portupgrade running 'make 
fetchindex' instead of 'make index'.

And frankly, I'd support having 'make fetchindex' run automatically by 
the ports build system if the ${PORTS_INDEX} file doesn't exist.
