If its really getting tough and there seems no end in sight try a "portupgrade -kfa" which I have always assumed stands for (along with the old doom cheat codes) "Kick F**ken Ass" :) Also try with the -p switch to create packages which might save some time on mass package nukes and retrys, or even a -O to ignore dependencies. Also if you get stuck on something small like tiff try just installing it as a package over the internet. pkg_add -r tiff to install a binary package of it, you could also do a -f on that to force it, which is something that should be considered to at the top of your list. I almost always have a good look through my /var/db/pkg before and after even the most ruthless portupgrade I usually find it remarkably clean.
