I deleted /var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db, then rebuilt it with pkgdb -u I

While I was updating ports before this error showed up, the options
screen for
portupgrade showed up - and option WITH_BDB4 was unchecked. I
changed that
(so portupgrade was now built with bdb4) - and the problems began
right after
this update.
I think you are on the right track, I had a working stable
portupgrade/portsdb environment and after the last update I started
getting that as well...my options for portupgrade to use BDB4 were
unchanged from before through after the upgrade: WITH_BDB4 was true
for both cases.
If I recompile portupgrade with:
WITHOUT_BDB4=true
WITH_BDB1=true
which also requires me to pkg_delete ruby-bdb, then it all seems to
work just fine with no more warnings or errors.
After a bit more trial and error, I find I can replicate the problem
by performing the following:
# portinstall databases/ruby-bdb
# portversion -l'' -v
[missing key: categories] [Updating the portsdb format:bdb_btree
in /usr/ports ... - 16414 port entries found .

and then I can remove any visible problems by performing:
# pkg_delete ruby18-bdb-0.5.9_2
# portversion -l'' -v
