The quick/no-dwonloading answer: build your own packages from the ports tree. You're using a package snapshot newer than the OS snapshot you have installed. (-current package snaps are always going to trail OS snaps by a bit, currently something around a few days -> a week on the faster arch i.e. i386/amd64/sparc64, more on slower arch, so you should have time to update your OS before the package snaps need a newer OS installed). -current works well, but it *is* a moving target, and most developers have limited time which doesn't allow for much hand-holding there. If you're following development code, please follow as an absolute minimum the website (faq/current.html), and really you should also be reading tech@ and source-changes@ (maybe OWC as an alternative) and also ports@ and ports-changes@ if you're interested in ports/packages to get an idea of what's going on.
