This article on cleaning up Ports helped me clean up the mess I had on my machine. http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2001/11/29/Big_Scary_Daemons.ht ml?page=1 (watch out for word wrap -- you may have to edit until this is all one line above) My "mess" (with old and new versions of the same ports) came in my haste to use packages when I wasn't able to compile the port. Problem is, when you install a package, it happily installs packages of the dependancies not paying any attention to if you already had a dependancy installed.
