Pkg conflicts after upgrading to latest

[alamahant]

Hi Guys,
After upgrading to latest and running

pkg upgrade -f

I have a couple of packages conflicting each other.
What is the proper course of action?
Is there a way to mask the new packages?
Or should I use /usr/ports to compile them with different flags?
This the output of "pkg upgrade":

Your packages are up to date.

And kinldy another thing:
I kindda fell in love with freeBSD and I wist to move the instalation to my main (fast) disk.
I am planning to use rsync to copy the "/" partition to the new disk.
Can I use gparted to create root and swap patritions for freeBSD?
And MORE importantly how do i REINSTALL the bootloader to reflect the new configuration?
Do i need to use the installation iso or can I somehow chroot into FreeBSD from Linux?
Kindly pleaasee be as descriptive as you possibly can......
Thanks a lot for the attention and care,
Andreas

You haven't updated in a while, have you?

  AFFECTS: users of graphics/jpeg
  AUTHOR: antoine@FreeBSD.org

  Default implementation of jpeg has been switched from graphics/jpeg to
  graphics/jpeg-turbo.  To perform the upgrade, use instructions below.

  If using binary packages: 'pkg upgrade' will do the right thing.  If it
  doesn't and complains about 'Cannot solve problem using SAT solver', run
  'pkg delete -f jpeg' before 'pkg upgrade'.

  If using portmaster:
  # portmaster -o graphics/jpeg-turbo jpeg

  If using portupgrade:
  # portupgrade -f -o graphics/jpeg-turbo graphics/jpeg

  If you compile your ports and want to keep using IJG's jpeg implementation,
  add this line to your /etc/make.conf file:
  JPEG_PORT=graphics/jpeg

I am planning to use rsync to copy the "/" "swap" and "efi" partitions to the new disk.

You can't rsync swap, it doesn't even contain a filesystem. Besides that, it contains dynamic data, useless to copy in the first place.

And MORE importantly how do i REINSTALL the bootloader to reflect the new configuration?

gpart(8)

can I somehow chroot into FreeBSD from Linux?

No, you cannot.
