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.
