pkgdb -F question

I am working on an installation of Metadot.  Running a portversion on 
the server yielded an error, and I suspect it's because part of the 
instructions had several CPAN modules installed via the CPAN shell 
rather than just ports.

Here's what I was getting:
****
# pkgdb -F
--->  Checking the package registry database
Missing origin: bsdpan-MIME-tools-5.411
-> Ignored. (the package is held; specify -f to force)

Stale dependency: mod_perl-1.29 -> p5-libwww-5.79 (www/p5-libwww):

New dependency? (? to help): ?

Abort.
*******

What is the answer I'm supposed to give, so that portupgrade will work 
and the system won't get fouled up?

Advice?
