Infinite Loops! Infinite Loops! FREAKING Infinite Loops!!!!

do:
ls /var/db/pkg

Look for duplicate versions ports.  You will need to use:
pkg_delete -f [port name]

to remove all of these ports that have duplicates, then reinstall that port.

Once you have only one version of the ported applications run portmanager 
to be sure you have them and their dependencies all current.
