Still one problem with doing that - after pkg_delete ghostview and 
pkg_add -r ghostview I get these errors -
cannot find ghostscipt in your path - install your favorite version of 
ghostscript, otherwise the program is useless
warning: package 'ghostview-1.5 ' requires 'imake-4.3.0' but found 
'imake-4.3.0_2'
warning: package 'ghostview-1.5  requires 'freetype2-2.1.4_1' but found 
'freetype2-2.1.5._1'
warning: package 'ghostview-1.5 requires 'fontconfig-2.2.0' but found

I have ghostscript-gnu-7.07_4 installed.
This is really messed up.
