    It's not the canonical way and it is not so much tested.
    I'm using it with no problems since portidex appeared.

    Note that portindex generates INDEX(-5) and you still have to run
    portsdb -u. If you like the idea of having you index rebuilt in a few
    minutes, you might want to petition kris@ to run it on pointyhat on
    regular builds and compare the results with `make index` output.

    I'm using something like :

    do_build_new_index() {
            echo
            if [ ! -e ${LOG_DIR}/need_new_index ]
            then
                    echo "No need to rebuild INDEX-5"
                    return 0
            fi
            cd /usr/ports || return 1
            cp INDEX-5 INDEX-5.bak || return 1
            if /usr/local/bin/portindex
            then
                    rm ${LOG_DIR}/need_new_index
                    cp INDEX.db INDEX.db.bak || return 1
                    sort < /usr/ports/INDEX-5 > /tmp/INDEX-5.sorted
                    mv /tmp/INDEX-5.sorted /usr/ports/INDEX-5
                    echo '--- Done with INDEX building'
                    echo
                    echo '--- Begining building portsdb'
                    /usr/local/sbin/portsdb -u || cp INDEX.db.bak INDEX.db && return 1
                    echo '--- Done bulding portsdb'
                    echo
                    cd /var/db/pkg || return 1
                    cp pkgdb.db pkgdb.db.bak || return 1
                    /usr/local/sbin/pkgdb -u || cp pkgdb.db.bak pkgdb.db && return 1
                    echo
            else
                    echo "ports_upd-ERROR: Index build FAILLED, restoring old INDEX-5"
                    cp INDEX-5.bak INDEX-5
                    return 1
            fi
    }
