Maybe a long shot, but I would try something in the line of:

pkg_delete -f  "py23-imaging-1.1.5*"

or try

pkg_info | grep py23-imaging

to get the exact name and use it in pkg_delete


the try installing the new port.

Also make sure you have not missed any steps mentioned in 
/usr/ports/UPDATING
I've never had python23, but there are specific steps to follow 
upgrading e.g 2.4 to 2.5
Make sure you have not omitted any of  the relevant steps for your version.
