up to date ports...portinstall/portupgrade won't work

I have run up against a brick wall here and i'm not sure where to turn
next.

I tried to install openoffice and limewire from a freshly updated ports
tree  (fresh for openoffice = yesterday, fresh for limewire = 5 minutes
ago) as well as gnome2.  I get a very similar message at the end of
each, just different package failures.  The limewire message is below:

===>    Verifying reinstall for /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so in

The package that had a vulnerability for oo and gnome2 was of course
xpdf.  I have known about the exploits so it was no surprise but i DID
update my ports tree.  I also visited the supplied link and read up
about updating to X11R6.8.1 but i don't see even how to do this.  I
searched the /usr/ports directory recursively for X11R and all i got was
the following:

./java/jdk14/work/j2se/src/solaris/classes/sun/awt/X11Renderer.java
./java/jdk14/work/j2se/src/solaris/classes/sun/awt/motif/X11RemoteOffScreenImage.java
./java/jdk14/work/j2se/src/solaris/native/sun/awt/X11RemoteOffScreenImage.c
./java/jdk14/work/j2se/src/solaris/native/sun/awt/X11Renderer.c
./java/jdk14/work/j2se/src/solaris/native/sun/awt/X11RemoteOffScreenImage.c.orig
./www/gnuinfo/files/gnuinfo.X11R6
./distfiles/xorg/X11R6.7.0-src1.tar.gz
./distfiles/xorg/X11R6.7.0-src3.tar.gz


Does this mean that the fixed version is not there and until it is..no
matter what these packages won't build?  

Would this work if i just went to the /usr/ports/x11/gnome2/ directory
and  did a make install?  if yes, why?

The last time portinstall/portupgrade was brought up as a way to install
ports there was a discussion on why or why not to use it..i'm not
looking for that.  I use it because i like it and i can specify to make
the up and downstream dependencies and i'm new to freebsd.  That
said.....

Any advice would be great.

Thanks,

Aaron
