then try adding as a pkg

pkg_add -r gconf2

i don't remember the exact solutions, but I did manage to pull off the 
install of OOo2, albeit after a long long time on a PIV 1.7 with 1 gig.

For better or worse, screwey ports and pkgs can usually be managed with 
a selective mix of port make deinstall (s) and adding dependencies as pkgs.
