When I first saw it in UPDATING and did the command I believe it was not 
completely correct, as it did nothing. That was something on the order of 3 
or 4 days ago. Just csup'd today and the command in UPDATING I think 
contained something slightly different, and is now correct.

Before, it did not remove/replace pkg-config. Today it did. Perhaps a ports 
tree refresh and if using portupgrade do this:

portupgrade -fo devel/pkgconf pkg-config-\*

This did remove pkg-config and replace it with pkgconf, like I expected it to 
do 3-4 days ago and didn't.
