I'm not an expert on pkgdb, but I'm pretty sure that's the way
it works.
You need to fix, not delete, the stale dependencies. This may
take some effort the first time around.
Beyond that, I question the wisdom of any "automatic"
solution. There are definitely times when I do _not_ want to accept
the fixes proposed by pkgdb -F.
My apologies; I re-read the man pages for portupgrade and pkgdb and I
think I understand what's going on now. Thanks anyway...

A good solution in the long term, rather than fixing dependencies every
time you do an upgrade, is to look at the ALT_PKGDEP section of
pkgtools.conf. Here is how i addressed the cdrtools dependency you
mentioned.
ALT_PKGDEP = {
'cdr-tools*' => 'cjk-cdrtools*',
'pcre-*' => 'pcre-utf8',
}
