Your make.conf and installed ports can affect the INDEX build. The USE_ 
or WITH_ adds features. My make.conf files don't have anything of that 
nature.

FWIW, I grabbed the cvsup16 1900 UTC update and had no problems building 
an INDEX on 4-stable or 5-current. Right now, I use portindex to build 
INDEX[-5]. The messages like you were seeing were occuring yesterday I 
tried a "make index" on 4-stable around 0700 UTC and didn't have any 
problem with it.
