How to Reinstate gamin-0.1.5_2 Dependency

I'm running FreeBSD 5.4 and recently cvsup'd my system  and followed that with 
portupgrade.  I subsequently ran pkgdb -Fu and was asked if gamin-0.1.5_2 was 
a stale dependency for gnomevfs2-2.12.2_1 and inadvertently responded yes.  I 
attempted to reinstall gamin-0.1.5_2 and received a message stating that it 
was in conflict with fam-2.6.9_6 which I found was required by 
firefox-1.5_5,1.  The message also indicated that I should delete fam-2.6.9_6 
and then I could complete installation of gamin-0.1.5_2  so I did.  I ran 
pkgdb -Fu again and replaced fam-2.6.9_6 with gamin-0.1.5_2 as a dependency 
of firefox.  I expected to see a similar prompt requesting me to make 
gamin-0.1.5_2 a dependency of gnomevfs2-2.12.2_1 but did not.

Both, gamin-0.1.5_2 and fam-2.6.9_6 seem to fulfill the same function of 
monitoring file alterations (?). I don't fully understand the purpose but my 
question is how do I return gamin-0.1.5_2 as a dependent of 
gnomevfs2-2.12.2_1 and was I correct in making it a dependent of firefox?

Thnx in advance,
Bob Perry
