Howdy,
Have a look in bsd.port.mk for the version number that it needs to build
with. Then make a copy of /var/db/port.mkversion. Edit
/var/db/port.mkversion with the version number that bsd.port.mk requires.
I had this same problem when the 34upgrade package had been altered with a
new version number, but had not been released as a new package...
