First of all thanks for good work.

Unfortunately, I've do this upgrade before above suggestion, so I was
forced to find the solution with howl -> avahi by myself.

Also there is one more conflict of this kind:
evinice requires poppler, but poppler conflicts with already installed
xpdf:
===>  Installing for poppler-0.5.1

===>  poppler-0.5.1 conflicts with installed package(s): 
      xpdf-3.01_2

      They install files into the same place.
      Please remove them first with pkg_delete(1).
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/graphics/poppler.
*** Error code 1


Anyway, I get several problems after installation:

most important - some applications stops work due to glib/libthread
problem:
% gnome-ssh-askpass2 
GTK Accessibility Module initialized
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/lib/libgthread-2.0.so.0: Undefined symbol "pthread_getschedparam"
%  nm -a /usr/local/lib/libgthread-2.0.so.0 | fgrep "pthread_getschedparam"
         U pthread_getschedparam
%
 but it can be fixed by forced libc_r load:
% env LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libc_r.so gnome-ssh-askpass2
GTK Accessibility Module initialized
%

Same library problem with gqview application.

Another problem is constantly dieing gnome-panel after execution gnome-session-save.
Restarting gnome session (with killing X) helps.

Third problem is GDM, if I choose themed local login it just crashed.
Starting /usr/X11R6/libexec/gdmlogin manually it shows:

The greeter version (2.14.0) does not match the daemon version.  You have probably just upgraded GDM.  Please restart the GDM daemon or the computer.

gdm was upgraded successfully.

There are also minor glitches, like lost session configuration or clock applet style after upgrade.
