What would ever give you that idea? Just install it with "portupgrade
-fN x11-toolkits/open-motif", and run "pkgdb -F" to fix up the
dependencies. That's all. 

You either don't understand how ports works (which is nothing to be
ashamed of, since it's damn complicated) or you're just missing the
obvious. Either way, don't worry about it, the port is fixed.
