This is getting complicated ... Have you ever updated a freebsd system ?

Looks like your port collection is not up to date. Install the package cvsup 
(the package, not the port). To do that type 'sysinstall', go to 'Configure',
'Packages'. If you have installed from cd, enter that cd. Under 'devel' you'll 
find a tool called 'cvsup-without-gui'. Install this one.

After that, upgrade your system to FreeBSD 4.11, please read the handbook
how to do that. The upgrade the ports collection with cvsup too.

After that go to '/usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade', do a 'make install'.

Now you can just do a

portupgrade mimedefang, and everything needed should be updated now.
