Thanks a lot for the direction. All goes well until portupgrade asks me

If you have some spare time, consider reinstalling all
the ports.
You might try sysutils/portmanager first. It upgrades lowest
dependencies first then works it's way up the dependency tree so stale
dependencies are not usually a problem. It works very well.
