Or must I do a replace instead of an upgrade?  What does this do to

The problem is that you seemed to have ended up with multiple versions
of readline in the database. Just do another "pkg_delete -f readline".

thanks, pkg_delete readline twice fixes this issue. And yes, looking at pkg_info from before the upgrade, two packages identified themselves as "readline". Is there any way to reduce those duplicate instances to only one?

I would also suggest "pkg_admin rebuild" as the database is most likely
semi-broken.

Yes, it is semi-broken. Actually, pkg_admin is complaining about packages in the db but not on disk.
