The file /boot/loader.conf is the file you should edit. The
defaults file is read prior to the normal config file, it
is overriden by different settings.

I've experienced that "fun", too. :-)

What error message is issued if you "fake install" K3B?
See pkg_add -rvn (remote, verbose, no-install)? Maybe it
will work with the newer version of libjpeg.

I've often been told that portmaster would be a good choice.
I've used portinstall / portupgrade in the past, but have to
say that I honestly prefer pkg_add -r for simplicity. :-)
