While Warren's procedure clearly works, I believe the recommended procedure
when a port is renamed is:
# pkg set -o graphics/ImageMagick:graphics/ImageMagick6
# portmaster ImageMagick6
or
# portmaster -o graphics/ImageMagick6 ImageMagick

The '-o', in either case, builds the new port and updates all ports that
depend on it with the replacement without trying to rebuild them.  Of
course, all of this working requires an up to date ports tree.
