Here's the procedure for dealing with the nautilus-media removal to
maintain package database consistency.

1) as root, run "pkgdb -F"
2) When it asks if you'd like to deinstall nautilus-media, choose Yes
3) When it says "Port somethingorother has missing dependency on
nautilus-media. New dependency:", hit Ctrl-D (for Delete Dependency) and
choose Yes.
4) For any other ports that depend on nautilus-media, choose Yes or All.

You should be good to go.
