Clean install of 6.3-RELEASE.

Now enter ports/x11/xorg and attempt a 'make install'
The sample /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile states:

You are probably missing an updated ports-base
Eventually it bombs out with:

I don't really care why. I'm sure it's fascinating, whatever it is. Can I
just get a quick textual fix - some file to edit somewhere that fixes this ?
What _is_ fascinating is that I am the only person _ever_ to attempt cvsup'ing
the x11 portions of the ports tree and then install xorg. You'd think someone
would have done this before now.
Thanks.
If you only cvsuped those three ports, you have an outdated version of
the bsd.gnome.mk file (I checked the recent version and there is no such
line).
In fact, to avoid any more issues, I would suggest you cvsup the entire
tree. If you feel cvsup / csup is slow, try portsnap:
