Dealing with deprecated ports.

I want to upgrade devel/icu. In updating tells me to use 

portmaster -r icu

This starts to rebuild gnome2-fifth-toe which wants to rebuild straw.

But straw is marked DEPRECATED and portmaster won't rebuild it. I
pkg_delete doesn't want to delete it because gnome2-fifth-toe depends
on it.

I never know what to do in these situations. Can anyone pass me a
clue?

Thanks,
Scott
