Error code 1: pkg-1.0.1 is already installed

This kind of thing seems to happen every once in a while when I try to update the installed ports. This time I deinstalled/reinstalled and that didn't help. Anyone get through this (I was trying to update portmaster, not pkg by the way, but this was the error I got because pkg must be a dependency)?

Code: 
===>>> Starting check for runtime dependencies
===>>> Gathering dependency list for ports-mgmt/pkg from ports
===>>> No dependencies for ports-mgmt/pkg

      You may wish to ``make deinstall'' and install this port again
      by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly.
      If you really wish to overwrite the old port of ports-mgmt/pkg
      without deleting it first, set the variable "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER"
      in your environment or the "make install" command line.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg.

I never upgrade portmaster with portmaster; usually I do it manually, but just today (on another box) I used portupgrade-devel. Another way is to deinstall and then proceed, or even delete the /var/db/pkg/pkg-# file in extreme cases, but as you are probably using pkg and portmaster both, I don't know enough about the setup to comment.
 
Yep.
Code: 
$ more /etc/make.conf
# added by use.perl 2012-03-06 23:44:21
PERL_VERSION=5.12.4
#WITH_MPM=worker
BUILD_OPTIMIZED=yes
WITH_PKGNG=yes
 
Reinstalling ports-mgmt/pkg should be done without any external tools. Like this:

# make -C /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg clean

# make -C /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg install clean FORCE_PKG_REGISTER=1

This should be done before any other updates to ports.
 
Thanks, but I'm getting the same error:
Code: 
===>  Installing for pkg-1.0.2
===>   Generating temporary packing list

===>   pkg-1.0.2 is already installed

Stop in /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg.
 
It looks like -I isn't a valid flag, but here's the output without it:
Code: 
# portversion -v
USING PKGNG
pkg-1.0.2                   =  up-to-date with port
 
Oops, I meant pkg_version -vI.

Have a look in /var/db/pkg/. It may have registered the old way, which will probably conflict with pkgng.
 
This is the closest thing to pkg:
Code: 
pkgconf-0.8.9                       =   up-to-date with index

Code: 
# l /var/db/pkg/pk*
