mozilla port issues

I've been working on upgrading 85 ports with portmanager -u for the last couple days. Had 
to restart it a few times, but little by little it seems to be whittling down the number 
of outstanding packages.

Couple questions though...

1) a lot of the gnome stuff doesn't seem to be getting done... did I read something 
recently about portmanager not being able to upgrade gnome currently? Or some difficulty 
with gnome?

2) several of my remaining ports say that they're waiting on mozilla-1.7.5_1,2 as a 
dependency, but if I try to upgrade that, it stops, saying there are security issues with 
mozilla and I need to update my ports tree. I've updated several times however... What 
else do I need to do?

3) portmanager periodically says that it's missing nautilus-media-0.8.1_1... any idea why 
that would be?

thnks,

Ben

PS: crap, I just remembered the UPDATING file... I see in there that I can't use 
portupgrade to update gnome... does that mean it won't work with portmanager either?
