I already removed fam when I installed gamin so this command doesn't recognize 
fam.  However, it seems as though I need to do more than simply change 
dependency via pkgdb -Fu.  For instance, gamin is now a dependency of firefox 
because I change  it with the pkgdb -Fu command.  If I understand your 
command, I really need to run portupgrade on firefox to make the change 
whole.  Correct?
