Ewald,

What I'd do under your circumstances is run pkgdb -F again and
deinstall all the packages that are moved or obsoleted.

If it won't deinstall because of dependencies, use: pkg_deinstall -f

Then repeat pkgdb -F again & pkg_deinstall -f until it comes up clean.

Then have a go again at updating according to the instructions in
/usr/ports/UPDATING

If the worst comes to the worst, you can always just deinstall X &
then upgrade.

Regards,
