Run "rm -Rf on /usr/ports/" to remove your stale ports, then run...

fetch 
ftp://ftp1.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/ports-current/ports.tar.gz -c 
/root -f ports.tar.gz && tar -xvzpf /root/ports.tar.gz -C /usr/

Which basically takes a fresh copy of the ports available on the FreeBSD 
FTP and puts it in place of your existing ports. Now you can update port 
manager...

cd  /usr/ports/sysutils/portmanager && make deinstall && make install

Please read 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html so 
you can learn how to use CVSUP properly; it's an incredibly beneficial 
tool for updating not only your ports, but your system itself.
