Never come across this before. What does it mean?

I means it failed to build on the machine that builds the binary packages.

Would it be very difficult to just keep the previous working version, and reject the failed new version?
At least on the "quarterly" repos?
These fallouts happen quite frequently on FreeBSD.
On a general purpose OS like FreeBSD, essential packages and even DEs like Gnome and Xfce shouldn't be unavailable for unknown time, often several months.

Not at all.
pkg lock seamonkey
That is how I lock my browser from being removed.

So when you run pkg upgrade actually look at what it is deleting. Do a dry run if concerned.
Actually read UPDATING to see what is changing.
Back out and lock affected package. It helps to know your browsers dependencies too.

For the Chromium port try latest branch every once and a while to see if back in ports.

Yes, because its dependencies would still get updated and then the 'old' packaged version would be broken.
