My mistake.. pkgdb -fu (not portsdb -fu) is what I was thinking of. I used to get the same conflict,. I think between firefox and gramps, and I would just install whichever one was asking to be installed right over the other. Unfortunately, that method had a tendency to break other packages. Changing fam dependents to gamin dependency solved the problem for me. KDE (which wants fam) works just fine with gamin instead.
