I have just had the same thing happen to me, and I'm unable to fix it by using 
pkgdb or portsdb. I just portupgraded kde3 using the instructions 
in /usr/ports/UPDATING and also updated the nvidia drivers. I'm running 
FreeBSD 5.2.1-p9.

--->  Checking the package registry database
Stale dependency: gnome2-2.6.2 -> nvidia-driver-1.0.6113 (x11/nvidia-driver):

Any ideas, or suggestions appreciated.
