user error with pkgdb -F

I screwed up... at the end of my portupgrade -a following the Xorg upgrade. 
kdemultimedia was left with one stale dependency, akode-plugins-jack. So I 
ran pkgdb -F to pull it in if it had somehow been missed. The script offered 
akode-plugins-xiph with a score of 77%. I checked the version numbers, and 
they matched, so I hit 'a' for all and instantly realized I had done the 
wrong thing. Now everything that was depending on the jack plugin wants xiph 
instead. Is there a less painful way to fix this than wiping the pkgdb and 
starting from scratch?
