I have a question about portupgrade.  I have been running portupgrade -ai 
on my workstation, and several upgrades failed.  I traced all the failures 
to one of two things; a security problem or XML-Parser was missing. 
However, XML-Parser was installed.  pkgdb -F returned with no complaints 
and pkg-info shows that XML-Parser was installed.

I deinstalled and reinstalled the p5-XML-Parser port, and now all the ports 
that failed because of that port are upgrading properly (gnome-desktop, 
gnome-menus, metacity, ggv, gnome-themes, gedit, gdm, gal2, filerolller, 
eog, nautilus-cd-burner, evolution-data-server, evolution, gnome-panel)

What is the cause of this?  Is there an easier way to correct the problem? 
Re- register the port?  (If so, how do you do that?)
