For some odd reason, runports isn't being found in your path :(
Try "which runports"
On my system I have /usr/local/bin/runports -> /PCBSD/Scripts/runports.sh
If you are missing that, does sym-linking help?
# ln -fs /PCBSD/Scripts/runports.sh /usr/local/bin/runports
Also, do you have a /bin/tcsh on your system? Thats what runports uses for its script.
