I've run into some problems using 'portupgrade -R' so I'm wondering if just
using 'portupgrade' is good enough in most cases.  I don't want a port to be
upgraded without NECESSARY dependencies, but I don't want minor upgrades
done UNNECESSARILY that might cause inconsistencies in the database.
Hmm, I am afraid your question is a bit general ...
Anyway:
/usr/ports/UPDATING will inform you about problematic or 
necessary upgrades.
I guess reading this before portupgrade will usually keep you out 
of trouble.
