Yes it worked. Thank you.
There is one thing that I am not sure of. I read again an article in FreeBSD
Diary
http://www.freebsddiary.org/portupgrade.php
and it said that if I force it to pkg_delete a certain package that other
packages depend on,
there might be problems of broken dependencies.
I tried the way you teach me first then read the article and then I decided
to first uninstall them all
and do the portupgrade -N again from the begining.

After the whole installation process, pkg_version shows me that every
packages installed are consistent
to the port tree. ( and it is good to me )

Thank you again for your help.
