Are you on Leopard, and if so, did asking to upgrade mercurial first  
cause some other port to get upgraded? If so, you're running into a  
common problem for Leopard users with many ports, for which we don't  
yet have a permanent solution. Fortunately, the workaround is very  
simple: just try upgrading mercurial again.
