Can't install fontconfig

I seem to have continual trouble with the port fontconfig. Last month I
solved the problem by deleting everything in my True Type fonts directory
and copying over just the fonts I wanted from my Wondoze machine. After
that fc-cache ran correctly and I was able to install the upgrage to
2.1.93. So now the port has 2.2.0, and when I try to install it I get:
>Running fc-cache to build fontconfig cache...

For some reason portupgrade has deleted fontconfig from the installed ports
database. This hasn't caused me any problems yet in running programs that
supposedly depend on it, but whenever I try to run 'pkgdb -F' I get hung up
with a "stale dependency". When I run 'portversion -c' it reports that
fontconfig-2.1.93 needs to be updated to 2.2.0. When I run 'portupgrade -rf
fontconfig' it tells me no such package is installed and I go back to
either 'portupgrade -Nrf' or 'portinstall'.
What can I do about this "undefined symbol" in
/usr/X11R6/lib/lobfontconfig.so.1", which appears to be the problem?
