When trying to upgrade my ports I get the following message:

openssl-stable-0.9.7i conflicts with installed package(s):
     openssl-beta-0.9.8a

Several ports (like openoffice.org-2xxx) require the beta version, while 
kde and its minions are looking for the 0.9.7i version.  Is there any 
simple way to resolve this conflict?
    

kde no longer looks for the old version because of other
inconsistencies that resulted.

   Here is the bottom of the output for my attempt to build
   kdeutils-3.4.2 using portupgrade.

         They install files into the same place.
         Please remove them first with pkg_delete(1).

   package 'net-snmp-5.2.1.2' (net-mgmt/net-snmp) failed (specify -k to
   force)

           * misc/kdeutils3 (kdeutils-3.4.2)
   So while kde... may not be looking for it, net-snmp is.
   Perhaps this should be a more general question on what to do if/when
   various ports get out of sync and are trying to use other inconsistent
   packages.
