You have stale or corrupted distfiles for some of them, but I didn't 
spot any other problems there.  Obviously the ports that fail to rebuild 
will still be 6.x binaries and causing problems, so you should only be 
declaring victory once you manage to get them all recompiled 
successfully.  It seems like this has not yet happened.

To address the old distfiles, either use 'make distclean' on those 
ports, or rm -rf /usr/ports/distfiles and allow them to be fetched anew.

If you are having problems recompiling other specific ports, please 
follow up on ports@.
