(I sure dislike this error!)

This almost always means you have the dependency package already installed 
but the version is not good enough. This is caused by that dependency 
being indirect and being pulled in by a dependency that does have a good 
enough version.

My first suggestion is to update pkgsrc. The gail package was removed a 
few months ago, when it was integrated into gtk2. So after you update 
pkgsrc, remove your gail package (and I suggest you remove anything that 
requires gail). Then "make clean clean-depends" in the package you are 
trying to build. And then build again.
