I have got these may times over. You have nothing to wurry about. If you
check with pkg_version then you will see that non of them are reported
with a higher version (i.e. >).
You can rebuilt varius package related stuf to be on the safe side. One
command is portsdb -uU. There can be one or two other relevant command
but i don't know these by memory. You can find them, do, in the
portupgrade manual.
