Thanks for the reply, Adam.

I'll give the procedure a try in a bit, but there's one thing that
perhaps you might be able to explain.., 

I'm just curious as to how I was able to "portupgrade -R
portupgrade-x.x.x just last night without hitting this issue..,

Thanks again Adam (and to Kevin Oberman, who's e-mail arrived as I was
tapping this reply)
