Comment(by snc@…):

 This is likely a snowball of hurt. At some point was upgrade run on these
 ports?  It would make sense to me that the dependency tree was not
 upgraded during the upgrade, though all meta information available
 indicates there is no much dependency.

 Perhaps simply do a force uninstall to get rid of the symptoms?
