If you're trying to upgrade a large bunch of ports like gnome,
you may want to start by running portupgrade on the required libraries. For example, although I usually install
XFree86-4 via the meta-port, when I want to upgrade it, I
generally run 'portupgrade -r XFree86-4-libraries', which first
upgrades the libs, then all the ports (including the rest of
the XFree86 stuff) that require XFree86-4-libraries. YMMV.
If you're upgrading gnome2, what you *really* wanna do is use the FreeBSD-Gnome Project's "gnome_upgrade.sh" script. Can't say for sure about "gnome-lite", though :-|
