portmaster stopped finding dependent ports if non-standard PORTSDIR

[John Marshall]

Yesterday I updated ports on my notebook (8.0-RELEASE-p2), took a deep
breath, used portmaster to upgrade xorg to 7.5 (portmaster -D xorg-7.4_4)
- ran without a hitch.

Then, I upgraded portmaster (portmaster -D portmaster) - also no
problems.

Then, I tried to upgrade jpeg...

----------------------------------------
rwpc08# portmaster -D jpeg

	jpeg-8_1 >> /build/ports/devel/libtool22

===>>> No valid installed port, or port directory given
===>>> Try portmaster --help

----------------------------------------

I've tried upgrading other ports as well: same story.  portmaster 2.25
seems to work fine on other systems which have a native /usr/ports.  I'm
thinking that portmaster's non-standard location awareness may have
broken with some of the recent ORIGIN stuff?  The version of portmaster
I used to upgrade xorg was 2.2x (I think 2.22): I remember noticing that
it was 2 or 3 releases behind.

Thanks again for providing this great utility.
