The idea is to just download the patches necessary to update the ports tree after 'portsnap fetch', 'portsnap install' has been run once. After that, all you need to do is run 'portsnap fetch update', you'll get plenty of action from that. I think by now you're going to have to remove the ports tree and start over. Why not do it an easier way.
