First of all, it is strongly recommened that you use ports-all without a refuse file. It will save you pain if you want to build an INDEX later. Second, and more importantly there is no RELENG_4_9 tag. It's RELEASE_4_9_0 for ports (though you probably don't want a tag at all since that will result in an out of date ports collection which contains known security problems.) -- Brooks -- Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
