you wont be able to upgrade until you fix the dependency issues

yes - you are basically telling the pkg manager that php5-mysql should
depend on php5-cgi (which is the incantation of php5 you use) instead of
php5 .

pkg_info -rR {pkg} will list the ports (for something installed)
a dirty way to do it would be to do
cd {port_1 dir}; make clean
as this does a clean on other ports your port_1 depends on. dont thin
there's an easy way to see what may depend on port_1 if you havent got
port_1 installed.

should work as outside the jail - works here in a couple servers with
several jails in the same way.

AFAIK, dependencies are calculated on what packages you have installed,
not on the files themselves - i could be wrong though.
