OK! Thank you Doug and Scot.

Here's what I did:

Portmaster --check-depends

I deleted all the dependencies that was not ok.

After that I reinstalled the ports that had had the wrong dependencies 
and then I ran Portmaster --check-depends again and everything looked 
good :-)

As Garrett points out, I would also very much like to know how did those 
entries get in there??
