yes sorry i jumped in without reading the man page for it's useage.
however some digging and a few other helpful emails and TA DA!!! it works!!!
i portupgraded freetype2, and then firefox built successfully.
i was under the impression that portupgrade looked after dependencies 
like this on it's own however? is it possible in my fiddling around i 
screwed up something which prevented portupgrade upgrading freetype2?
fyi i upgraded gaim and some other stuff successfully, so everything 
seems OK

thanks for everyones help and patience, it's what makes freebsd superior.
