Both errors likely result from ports r374303. What puzzles me is why you
have obsolete packages for dependencies. This cannot happen when
building from ports because the change still provides old soversion for
consumers that haven't bumped PORTREVISION.

How did you upgrade?

8.4R i386 package was built after ports r374303, or against jpeg-8_6 and
libogg-1.3.2_1,4.
