What a sticky situation.  

First of all, I think you would do best right now to build your own
index.  'portsdb -uU' will take a while, but it will match exactly
what you have installed, which will probably help getting the
dependency comparisons correct.  

Also, run 'pkgdb -F' until it stops reporting problems.
