I am afraid I am observing something similar to what Oliver reported. On
a CURRENT box (r272295) I get the following for all ports execpt pkg itself:

portmaster indexinfo-0.2

===>>> Currently installed version: indexinfo-0.2
===>>> Port directory: /usr/ports/print/indexinfo

===>>> Gathering distinfo list for installed ports

===>>> Launching 'make checksum' for print/indexinfo in background
===>>> Gathering dependency list for print/indexinfo from ports

===>>> Port directory: /usr/ports/print/indexinfo/../../ports-mgmt/pkg

===>>> Update for print/indexinfo/../../ports-mgmt/pkg failed
===>>> Aborting update


When I try to build other ports, it does not complain about
ports-mgmt/pkg, but something else in the dependency list. For example,
for net/mpich2 it complains about devel/binutils ...


This does not happen on my other CURRENT boxes (they build ports as
exected). All systems have pkg-1.3.8_2 installed. The main difference
between these boxes is, that the boxes without problems come from older
installations, which were converted via pkg2ng.

Only the box in question has all ports built and installed from scratch
after installing pkg, without any installations via pkg_* before.

As far as I can say, all went well until r369572. After svn'ing to a
more recent revision, I was not able to build ports any more ...
