I did the recursive pkg_delete as specified in UPDATING and now I have an unworkable KDE. Everything wants to reinstall jpeg-6, which fails because it is already installed. That left me with around 20 modules required by KDE that wouldn't build. When the current portupgrade fails, I will do the PKG_FORCE thing but I shouldn't have to do that. GD not building is just a small piece of the problem.
