did you happen to save the full output from pkg when this happened? usually, i would expect it to attempt the upgrade, notice the conflict, and re-calculate the upgrade to install the conflicting packages in the correct order. this is what i noticed when upgrading my local systems past the FreeBSD-cron split. unfortunately, pkg.freebsd.org doesn't seem to save older versions of the repository, so it's difficult to test this upgrade again. btw: if 'pkg' fails due to missing shlibs, you should be able to use 'pkg-static' to recover, unless it had already removed that as well.
