No, it would be possible to first

	# pkg_delete -f /var/db/pkg/py25-gobject*

and then install the updated version. As long as the update doesn't
break any library version numbering, and the functionalities from the
previous versions are still intact, there won't be a problem.

Finally, if you're using portupgrade, make sure to correct the
dependencies:

	# pkgdb -aF

But note that if this procedure fails, you will usually have to deinstall
the depending software and then start allover again, this will lead you
finally to updated programs, as well as an updated py25-gobject (as a
dependency).
