So what?  In this case Xrender is not built yet.  It depends on XFree86
(overwrite), so XFree86 gets installed as overwrite.  Then, when building
Xrender, it should be built as overwrite, because one of its dependencies was
installed as such.  And later, kde3 will be built as overwrite, because its
depends (Xrender and XFree86) are too.
A package is not pkgviews by itself.  It's pkgviews when it's installed.

This is what I understand... if it doesn't work like that is a different thing :P
