That should have done the right thing...

Yep, see further.

So the dependencies are right, but three ports had not been
installed:
x11-toolkits/linux-gtk2
x11-toolkits/linux-pango
textproc/linux-scim-gtk

So, something definitely wrong. There are two ways to go.

A first one is simple but it may not give any guarantee that
the situation will not appear in the future: install those
ports by hand.

I'll advice the second one. Write down all linux applications you use
(i.e. print/acroread8, net/skype, etc.) -- not infrastructure linux
ports (they should be installed as dependencies). Then pkg_delete
those applications and linux*, unmount all linux filesystems, "rm -rf
/compat/linux/*".Then install linux applications and mount linux
filesystems. HTH
