lang/guile* dependency conflict causing gnome port conflicts

I ran into a problem when I upgraded my ports earlier today using pkg
and my local repository.

The problem is that the latest version of finance/gnucash depends on
lang/guile2, while games/gnome-games and deskutils/gnotime depend on
lang/guile, and the two guile ports conflict.  When I did the upgrade,
pkg detected the conflict and asked if it was ok to skip some of the
upgrades.  When I manually upgraded gnucash, pkg deleted gnome-games an
gnome2 and a few other ports.  When I reinstalled gnome2, which pulled
in gnome-games, pkg deleted gnucash.

I can probably live without gnome-games, but that means that I can't
have gnome2 installed either, which makes "pkg autoremove" less
convenient.  Unfortunately I can't live without gnotime and gnucash.

For now, I've reverted back to the previous version of gnucash, which
depends on lang/guile and avoids the conflict.

Thoughts?
