Was doing portupgrade -R kdebase when it bit the first time

Dug into the script log and found that it seemed to be 
related to arts so have done (successfully) portupgrade -Rf arts
yet a subsequent portupgrade kdebase still bombs out.

I do notice that it is finding some previous config file for kde
and I am wondering if that has got bent. 

any other suggestions?
