But that is why you use things like portupgrade or portmanage. You have 
dependancies and sometimes, not all of the time, they have to be 
updated before you build the main application. If you do the updating 
out of sequence (a>b>c>d) such as update b before you update d, you may 
have to go back and force the update because the flag to update is no 
longer there. 

A "portupgrade -rR" won't fix what you have already broken. You have to 
force it with -fr. That will take a long time and you probably can't 
recover any other way because the package site only has 
firefox-1.5_4,1.

For example, nspr and cairo build just fine on my system. I cvsuped and 
tried it on 6-stable. It sounds like you are in that position now.

If there are a number of changes and it looks like an interface is 
affected, I run "portupgrade -purR xxx". Michael will probably tell you 
how to do it with portmanage. I think like portupgrade and use it.
