Uh -- you may have reinstalled bash, but it seems you haven't ended up with version 4.0.35.  Have you perhaps downloaded an updated INDEX (by 'make fetchindex') but not updated the actual ports tree?

Try running:

    pkg_version -vL=

which will take slightly longer, but will skip reading the INDEX and compare
port versions directly with what is available on your filesystem.  If that
doesn't show any upgrades available, then you need a bit of csup(1) or
portsnap(8) action to grab an up-to-date ports tree.
