You are probably building with inconsistent header files.

I have had similar failures on every upgrade. With one exception I fixed
the problem by running 'pkgdb -Ff' again and using pkg_delete to delete
the older port for ports with multiple versions installed. Don't use
pkgdb delete them! Then re-build the current port.

portupgrade(1) should prevent multiple installs, so I don't understand
why it is happening. I can only say that it is.
