Please see the recent archives for -questions (search for "portupgrade 
strangeness" should do it).  There's a thread about this very issue.  It 
seems like a "feature" of portupgrade interacts with an oddity in 
pkg_version.  To my mind pkg_version seems to have a bug, but there were 
no real comments on the thread.

You should be able to work around by pkg_delete -ing swt-3.2.2_1 and 
installing x11-toolkits/swt-devel afresh.
