Comment (by dports@…):

 These error messages are unfortunately expected when upgrading from one
 major revision of the texlive ports to the next: when some of the
 installed ports have been upgraded but the others haven't yet, map/format
 generation in the post-activate hook may fail. This isn't a problem aside
 from the error message, since the final post-activate script will take
 care of it.

 (What we really want to do is run all the post-activate scripts after all
 the ports have been upgraded -- or, better still, run the post-activate
 script once rather than once per port -- but that would require something
 like Debian's dpkg triggers.)

 We should probably wrap some of the post-activate commands in a try block
 when failures are expected so they don't get reported, however.
