Start by updating your ports tree again. You may have hit a transient issue with the dependencies in the actual makefiles. Probably not, but it's worth checking before trying to understand what's really happening. If I can let the machine alone for a while, I will generally rebuild all the ports in the dependency tree for the problem. Getting this accurate usually requires examining the ports by hand. Removing all of those ports and rebuilding them to pick up the dependency information in order will usually work, but takes the functionality offline for longer. Hope that helps...
