You may have two separate issues.
0. Installing from ports fails because you have some cruft in tmp directories. Clean it up, just in case.
1. You have a hardware problem. Compiling is as good as stress test on hardware. Out-of-specs PSU, faulty RAM, dusty CPU cooler, dying HDD, etc.

BTW, what exactly are you trying to achieve running portsdb? You don't need to run it during routine updating/upgrading.
