Hi Drew,
I've had this and the cause in my case was that portupgrade is out of date. In February the ports tree maintainers moved portupgrade from sysutils to ports-mgmt. That's the cause of "missing key: categories".
Anyway, do this and see if it fixes the problem:
cd /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portupgrade
make all install clean
Hope this helps,
Adam J Richardson
