But that not mean any stale dependencies are ignored? Maybe the best way is to fix the stale dependencies for bsdpan if there is no other way. Any idea how that is done?

When you do that i think you will find that pkgdb doesn't take a "-O" argument, but that is a different issue than your "-f" troubles.
