portupgrade -rfx atkmm atkmm should take care of the issue, although
portupgrade -rf atkmm is probably ok too, unless atkmm takes multiple hours to
build.

as a workaround you could also add an entry to /etc/libmap.conf:

libatkmm-1.6.so.1	libatkmm-1.6.so.2

if things in libatkmm haven't changed too much you might get away with it for
now and delay the portupgrade to some time that's more convenient to you.

cheers.
