I usually only see this error with ports we've written in-house. Usually
it happens because the dependency check on a specific file is bad. The
check fails, which causes the port to believe it needs to install the
dependency, but the package registry gets upset because the package is
already installed and it doesn't think it needs to be reinstalled. 

If these are real ports, you might want to report the brokenness. You'll
probably find that you can FORCE_PKG_REGISTER=1 and leave it at that
(though I typically treat it as a last resort and instead opt for fixing
the port).
