    I have got these may times over. You have nothing to wurry about. If you
    check with pkg_version then you will see that non of them are reported
    with a higher version (i.e. >).

    You can rebuilt varius package related stuf to be on the safe side. One
    command is portsdb -uU. There can be one or two other relevant command
    but i don't know these by memory. You can find them, do, in the
    portupgrade manual.
