I would suggest that you try the following to see if you can pin down what the problem is.
Run 'portsclean -C -D -L' to clean out any left over work directories and
obsolete libraries.
Then create a script of what actually happened when portmanager ran. This what
I do:
script -ak /PATH-TO-LOG/pm-update.log portmanager -u -l
That will create a log file in the path you specify. If the same problem
happens again, you could forward both that file and the one created by
portmanager to the developer.
Ciao!
