nautilus-media-0.8.1_1 is no longer in ports, see the bottom 
of /usr/ports/MOVED.  Eventually when the ports that used to depend on 
it are upgraded you will stop seeing that message,

Until the upgrade is done you should set
DISABLE_VULNERABILITIES="YES" in your make file. portmanager will be 
able to do the upgrade, but when it can't upgrade one port like mozilla 
it won't upgrade anything that depends on mozilla either.
