If you pkg_delete -r that will remove every package that depends on jpeg. This is not the right way of just getting rid of jpeg considering it involves the complete almost full re-installation of the entire system manually.
A better route to upgrade would be: pkg_delete -f jpeg-\* reinstall the new jpeg and then portmaster -r jpeg-\* I suppose the damage is already done to most of the systems for people that did not already catch this.

I do.
