As suggested in the error message, it appears that SWIG_LANGUAGES is  
improperly quoted and is being view as 2 strings and multiple  
barewords. Did you set SWIG_LANGUAGES (either via a make form or  
manually)?

	You might be able to do "portupgrade -PP -vv" to view the full output  
from pkg_add, pkg_delete, and pkg_info, but I forget... manpage will  
say for sure. Push comes to shove you can just download and upgrade  
the package(s) by yourself; it isn't all that hard...
