Correct for those of you who let portupgrade do all the building for you
(which the example command you give does).  The reason I'm being careful
is portupgrade can also be told to fetch pre-built packages.  At the
moment that will not work, if you use that approach please hold off
until the ports folks let us know the packages have been rebuilt.
