I had similar problems when updating other ports, especially when the port 
upgrade enabled the universak variant (which is by default chosen by my 
macports).
For some reason it seemed like Macports thought the files were from an 
unregistered port even though I am sure I never disturbed anything in 
/opt/local.
Unfortunately I don't remember which ports were the troublemakers. It could 
also be an issue with old vs new ports database (i'm using the old one)
