at least weekly since then. I csup'd and did the buildworld/kernel thing this past Friday. At that time I change from the generic kernel to a generic using -ULE.

Assuming that you're now tracking RELENG_7, and assuming that you installed the new kernel and world, did you clean out all the old libraries and includes from before the branch?

When updating the ports over the weekend using "portmaster -a -u" the

This isn't really relevant to your question, but I'd like to point out that I think people are using the -u flag a lot more than they really need to. Under normal circumstances once you're past the 'make config' stage and the ports start actually compiling there won't be any interaction required. In fact, now that the OPTIONS framework is fixed if you already have options files for the ports you have installed, and those options haven't changed, you won't even get those screens to deal with.

system would freeze at "Creating a backup package for old version
pkg-glob". Where pkg-glob is whatever was being updated at the time of
course.

What happens if you just run 'pkg_create -b <portname from /var/db/pkg>'? I strongly suspect that this is a problem with your pkg_create binary, since that's all portmaster is doing in that spot. If the pkg_create command failed then you would see an error message and portmaster would exit.
