My workaround, which seems to have helped in my case:
I noticed that I could do a pkg_add of galeon-1.2.6_1.tgz.
That created a dirctory called /var/db/pkg/galeon-1.2.6_1.
I symlinked this to /var/db/pkg/galeon-1.2.6, and re-ran pkgdb:
# pkgdb -F
---> Checking the package registry database
[Updating the pkgdb <format:bdb1_btree> in /var/db/pkg ... - 204 packages
found (-1 +25) (...)......................... done]
Duplicated origin: www/galeon - galeon-1.2.6 galeon-1.2.6_1
Unregister any of them? [no] y
Unregister galeon-1.2.6 keeping the installed files intact? [no] yes
-> galeon-1.2.6_1 is kept.
--> Saving the galeon-1.2.6's +CONTENTS file as
/var/db/pkg/galeon-1.2.6_1/+CONTENTS.galeon-1.2.6
--> Unregistering galeon-1.2.6
--> Done.

Stale dependency: gnome-fifth-toe-1.4.1b2_2 -> galeon-1.2.6 (www/galeon):
Fixed. (-> galeon-1.2.6_1)
Stale dependency: xanim-2.80.2 -> freetype2-2.1.2 (print/freetype2):
Fixed. (-> freetype2-2.1.2_1)
Stale dependency: xanim-2.80.2 -> XFree86-libraries-4.2.1_1
(x11/XFree86-4-libraries):
Fixed. (-> XFree86-libraries-4.2.1_5)
My symlink seems to have been deleted, and pkgdb is satisfied, and
I can continue with my upgrade, for now...
