Works for me. Have you selfupdated recently and upgraded all your outdated ports? If pstoedit doesn't build after doing that and cleaning, please run this script to check for ports referencing libpng12.

The problem was that "ghostscript"... I don't why ghostscript wasn't rebuild.

Hmm, why are you trying to force an upgrade? It should not require forcing; the revision bumps we've been doing should be sufficient. Also, single-letter (global) flags (i.e. "-nfu") have no effect unless you put them immediately after the word "port".
