Hi Mark,
On a 2nd read, I thought I was kind of sharp.
No problem. I saw the message:
     ===>  kdelibs-3.2.3_1 conflicts with installed package(s):
           kdebase-3.1.2
           They install files into the same place.
           Please remove them first with pkg_delete(1).
       *** Error code 1
but it seemed misleading because I thought that portupgrade(1) 
pkg_delete-ed the old version (after first backing up the files) - 
obviously not.

What you have is a similar 
problem to the old problem with  XFree86-server and -libraries. You 
update -libraries, which contain the new files, and then you delete 
them when you update -server. Then, nothing would update because files 
were missing. 

There were a number of comments on -questions or -ports when this first 
happened.
Yes, I'd searched the mailing lists (for KDE problems, not XFree86) but 
didn't find anything that seemd relevant, although after your reply some 
of them make sense now.

You might get by just deleting kdebase.
Delete kde-libs surely?
Is this a limitation/shortcoming/bug of portupgrade(1)? Is the whole 
point of it ot that it handles, often complex, dependencies for you?

Thanks for the reply.
Regards,
Mark

It told you what to do right here. You can't directly upgrade to the
next level because of the file shift.
