Sorry for not responding earlier... an unusual confluence of the
stars allowed me to take an actual vacation that involved no
computers other than a GPS locator. Perhaps you've solved this by
now, but if not:
man script
Use script to capture your entire upgrade process for analysis. Look
not only at the end where things totally crap out, but possibly much
earlier where things may start to fail in a non-fatal way (esp. if
you are portupgrading a glob of things, or -a, rather than focusing
on individual packages).
