Besides what Thomas said: pkgsrc is generally developed with the rest of packages up to date. Updating the sources of one package and trying to build it is basically a wrong thing to do. Always use a consistent pkgsrc tree (unless you know enough to work around problems without asking for help, reverting to consistent as the firsr step). Building a package from an updated tree when installed packages are out of date is asking for trouble because you are operating in a way that most developers do not.
