I moved all the packages in /usr/ports/packages/All out of the way

I run 

sudo nice portupgrade -fRp gimp

it rebuilt 50 something out of 69 dependencies. It failed on gtk2, which I
rebuilt by hand (portupgrade -fp gtk-2) . I then rebuilt by hand the remaining
ports that seemed libraries and related to gimp (i.e., no point rebuilding
firefox).
after this, i upgraded gimp with NO problem at all :)

thnks for the pointer! (I was sure I had rebuild everything when the libtool
change had happened...obviously not)

 trying to upgrade gimp from ports, the build process failed with:

 libXcursor.la is usually provided by x11/libXcursor, but this port conflicts

 xorg-libraries doesn't provide this file. how do I create it from the existing

You shouldn't need to.  It shouldn't need it.
On my fairly stock -STABLE system with the latest xorg from the port, 
gimp links against libXcursor.so.1.

Perhaps you have some other ports needing upgrading?

ah, but there lies the problem, i think - libXcursor installs files
already installed by org-libraries (and the extra .la file). the issue is that
libXcursor depends on xproto and xextensions which break the build of a number
of ports I use (firefox,etc).

I'm trying now by using pkgtools.conf to replace xproto and xextensions with
xorglibraries if I knew how to create a .la file, then libXcursor could be
replaced too by xorglibraries...

am I right in my understanding that libXcursor / xproto / libXau / xextensions
and others are the XFree86 (and therefore older) equivalents of
xorg-libraries?

thanks :)

No, the xorg-libraries port installs /usr/X11R6/lib/libXcursor.so.
No libtool library description file (.la) should be needed.

You seem to have been missing the point, so I'll boil it down:
You *do* need libXcursor.  
You do *not* need the libXcursor *port*, because xorg-libraries will
install the Xcursor library.  
You should *not* need libXcursor.la, because gimp should need it to
link against libXcursor.so.

Try removing the libtool ports, rebuilding xorg-libraries and anything
else in the dependency path from it to gimp, and gimp should rebuild
fine.  

You didn't mention houw you were trying to do your upgrade, or what
vintage your other ports were, so this is probably the most complete
advice we can give on the information you have provided.
