I have only seen messages like that using portupgrade when it installed a 
package that had been built using an older version of a port. It would load 
the older dependancy package and then stop when it tried to install something 
that actually tested which version was installed. If you build them from 
source like I do like I do on my kde4 machine, I didn't have problems. It was 
when I tried to use the packages on my slower machine that I had problems. 

I don't have any other idea.

When I forced things, portupgrade would actually ignore conflicts and install 
both of the packages. Things got really messy then such as dependancy links 
were horribly broken.
