Jason,

You can always rebuild the ports and package databases if the need arises, though I doubt this is your problem, eg.
# cd /usr/ports/ ; > INDEX ; > INDEX.db ; make index ; portsdb -Uu
# > /var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db ; pkgdb -u
> I can't do even a make clean in ports
Don't bother. Start with a freshly cvsup'ed ports tree. After you next
update and install new versions, run "portsclean" (with -CD or whatever
suits you) and leave the rest to portupgrade.

Did you copy pkgtools.conf.sample to pkgtools.conf? If so, what changes
did you make to pkgtools.conf [diff them]?
I use a script, update_stable[1], to update my sources and ports. It can
be invoked with an argument just to update the ports (update_stable ports)
and which takes care of all the databases and other stuff. This may be a
useful reference even if you don't run it. I have another, for installing
a newly built world and kernel. You can see my sup and config files for
reference[3].
