I have never found the cleandir to be useful when you do it more than 
once. If you "rm -rf src" you have done the ultimate cleandir. 
Considering all of the things you have tried, why don't you switch your 
cvsup mirror. They get out of whack once in awhile. I have been using 
cvsup8 and it is keeping up with the ports. I am starting a build to 
see if it has any problems but I don't expect any. If your port tree is 
current and your docs tree is current, you can expect your source tree 
to also be current.
