You can manually build the missing ones. You don't need to deinstall the port with the stale dependancy. I think portupgrade checks first and then tells you to do the -F update. I hit this area at various stages of the gnome_update. The script deleted ports and then died before they were added back. The database then had loose ends and wanted you to fix them with the -F. The -recover option worked most of the time and that was good enough, most of the time :). The other 3 or 4 times, I did a manual build of the missing port.
