I found that my INDEX was bad. I tried deleting the file and then running make index but that kept failing. Finally I deleted my entire ports tree and the directory cvsup used to keep track of updates. Then I ran cvsup. Finally I ran portsdb -uU to make the new index files. Everything looks good now. I'm sure my approach was drastic and would appreciate knowing how I could have fixed this instead of blowing everything away and starting over.
