Libmcs error

In the course of upgrading Xfce via ports, I've gotten this error on the xfce4-mcs-manager-4.4.3 package:
Code: 
xfce4-mcs-manager-4.4.3 cannot install: Unknown component libmcs

I've ensured that libmcs was in fact installed, and I've run pkgdb -F which found no problems. I originally had this problem about a week ago and figured it was a problem with the ports tree and waited to update my ports tree in the hopes that would resolve the problem. However that did not work so I assume its a problem with my system.

I'm still a new FreeBSD user, so any help in figuring out what I'm doing wrong would be greatly appreciated.

I'm running FreeBSD 7.1 under VirtualBox, if that makes any difference.
 
Before updating you should read /usr/ports/UPDATING.

AFFECTS: users of x11-wm/xfce4
AUTHOR: oliver@FreeBSD.org

When upgrading from xfce 4.4 to 4.6 make sure you uninstall the following
ports:
x11/libxfce4mcs
sysutils/xfce4-mcs-manager
sysutils/xfce4-mcs-plugins
x11-themes/xfce4-icon-theme
You may uninstall them before you start the upgrade procedure (preferred)
or even afterwards when the upgrade went fine.

Please also note, that xfce 4.6 does not come with an icon theme any more.
Xfce 4.6 now depends on the Tango theme which is now installed by default.
The default installation of xfce is also adjusted to use this icon theme
instead of the xfce 4.4 standard Rodent theme. If you are upgrading from
xfce 4.4 to 4.6 you probably still have the Rodent theme selected. This
will lead to several "missing" icons when starting up xfce.
Make sure to switch as well to the Tango theme. To do this just open the
Settings Manager and select Appearance. Inside the Appearance dialog
switch to the Icons tab and select the "Tango" entry in the list on the
left side of the Icons tab.

For enabling the Reboot/Shutdown functionality of xfce's logout dialog
please read the note which gets printed out after the installation of
x11-wm/xfce4 about how to configure PolicyKit.
