Then it sound like something didn't get updated correctly when you 
updated your ports tree. Try refreshing it again.

If you look in the port's Makefile there might be a variable set 
"BROKEN" or something like that.

btw: if you upgrade with make as I suggested then the package database 
must be rebuilt:

   # pkgdb -aF

The reason is that ports keep track of both way dependencies and the one 
way is lost on the deinstall, but since the other way is still there it 
can be resolved.

Cheers, Erik
