I had this issue yesterday when upgrading Gnome on 6.2-RELEASE-p7. It's 
not just 7-FOO and 8-CURRENT that're affected.

The solution that worked for me was this:

1. Force uninstall scrollkeeper.
2. Manually install rarian.
3. "pkgdb -F" to fix the stale links to scrollkeeper.
4. Restart the portupgrade process.
