Those should have all been updated (as a big set) by pkg_add -u,
I don't think it shpuld be possible to have old ones left as they
would depend on an older branch of python, which conflicts with
3.14 in -current.

If you hit this again please tar up /var/db/pkg before deleting

Another possibility is outdated files in /usr/ports/packages.
That should be cleaned often.
