Hey Gary :-)

You seem to have py37 pyside2 installed so it wants to use this
package. Have you tried upgrading to py38-pyside2 ? It should use that
package then. It would be best to upgrade all python related packages
to use py38 and the problem should be gone :-)

If you use pkg then 'pkg update; pkg upgrade' should do the job :-) If
you use ports then probably you will have to update python to 3.8 in
the first place and use it as default.

There is a Handbook manual page on Flavors including Python setup for a Port:

https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/porters-handbook/flavors/

Good luck :-)
