Try the '-R' again; it may get a bit farther each time.
You can always recover by removing some of the ports and reinstalling
them after the remaining ports are updated. You're going to have to
rebuild a huge number of ports anyway, so this is not very different
from using portmaster on everything.
Good luck.
