Right, but it's hard to upgrade to the new version without deinstalling the old
version, isn't it? :-)

pkg delete -f won't help (as already shown in the original message).
Instead, as Baptiste advised me:
cd /usr/ports/textproc/p5-XML-SAX-Expat
make install FORCE_PKG_REGISTER=1
In the case of pkgng the above command should do the right thing in this case
(in-place upgrade).
