selfupdate does synchronize the port tree, but that alone doesn't upgrade
what ports you actually have installed.  Check the output of 'port outdated'
after you selfupdate, that will tell you what ports have been updated since
you installed them.  I'm guessing the libxml2 port will be one of them, and
if so, once upgraded, then the etc/xml/catalog error should go away.
