Here is some more background on the problem: (copied from another
post)

1.) Install the databases/ruby-bdb port.

2.) Set an environment variable PORTS_DBDRIVER to bdb-btree (or
bdb_hash)
This will change the portsdb's database backend from the libc-builtin
bdb1 to a later berkeley db (you can set which one via the
WITH_BDB_VER switch in the ruby-bdb port). You can also change the
driver for pkgdb by setting PKG_DBDRIVER in
/usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf
ENV['PORTS_DBDRIVER'] = 'bdb_btree'
ENV['PKG_DBDRIVER'] = 'bdb_btree'

3) portsdb -uU
