Once upon a time Matthew Zahorik shaped the electrons to say...
>I've used pminstall on 2.4 before. (pm2_3.1_sun4.tar)

You got lucky.

Don't use it in 2.4, it eats Portmasters. Corrupts them and the you have a
down unit you can't recover from 2.4. If you have another OS you're ok, if
not, trouble.

If you do an upgrade, it wipes the flash in preparation to load the new
image - but it fails on the load, so you have a blank PM.
