I moved all the packages in /usr/ports/packages/All out of the way

I run 

sudo nice portupgrade -fRp gimp

it rebuilt 50 something out of 69 dependencies. It failed on gtk2, which I
rebuilt by hand (portupgrade -fp gtk-2) . I then rebuilt by hand the remaining
ports that seemed libraries and related to gimp (i.e., no point rebuilding
firefox).
after this, i upgraded gimp with NO problem at all :)

thnks for the pointer! (I was sure I had rebuild everything when the libtool
change had happened...obviously not)
