    I will do a update of my sources and build world asap. I was simply
    under the impression that I could safely upgrade only the ports. So
    that's how I got started down this. And then when things went bad I
    wanted to fix it before I tried upgrading anything else and possibly
    compunding things.

    I guess that's the fix. Everything seemed to go just fine. Everything
    has been rebuilt (except OO, and a sun-jdk... but I think I installed
    them as packages anyway). So I guess I'll be doing something like the
    following to upgrade my ports from now on:

       # cvsup -g -L 2 /root/ports-supfile
       # /usr/ports/make fetchindex
       # portsdb -u
       # pkgdb -F
       # portupgrade -a

    If this looks incorrect please let me know.

    Thanks for everyone's assistance.
