I have been running FreeBSD 6 successfully for over a year without

I recently decided to try running X11/KDE. I thought I would save some
time and learn a new trick with pkg_add kde.
Mixing the two confuses me because portversion does not report whether an
installed port was compiled from source or copied from a package, and
portupgrade hasn't worked on some packages.
Here's the latest:
portupgrade -vr qt

Stop in /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/qt33.

Is there a particular port I need to reinstall from source to fix this, or
another solution?
Thanks.

I've had that happen, no explanation why. I have had luck switching from
a pkg to a port by doing the following within the port you are upgrading.
make deinstall
make clean
make reinstall
Then portupgrade will work with the port fine. There is the possibility
that you may need to remove the pkg using pkg delete and then do a fresh
install from ports. X is big, I have not used X in years as all my
systems are servers, I generally use only ports if I don't install from
source. Someone with more experience than me might have a better answer.
Of course, if you follow my advice blindly your system may explode, or
worse ;^)
