You need to update portupgrade and the ruby dependencies and then force 
update the databases. 

I have hit this once in awhile and I have force built each one. I think 
there were cases where I manually had to build ruby to get around the 
database problem that is killing it. 

You can force update the databases with "portsdb -fu" and "pkgdb -fF".

I do as little as possible until it works and each solution was 
different.
