You need to identify every package generating these sort of conflicts,
and then tell pkg that it should use a different port (identified by
port origin) for any upgrades using 'pkg set' like so:

    pkg set -o category/old-port:category/new-port

So in the case of replacing postgresql93-client with postgresql90-client
you run:

   pkg set -o databases/postgresql93-client:databases/postgresql90-client

Now when you run your 'pkg upgrade' it will tell you it is upgrading
(sic) postgresql93-client to postgresql90-client.
