'portupgrade -a' will upgrade EVERY port you have installed on your computer, whether its actually associated with gnome or not. this option may be an issue if you have a slow computer or an application that you do not want updated. on the plus side, it will bring all your ports to latest version offered thru ports.
 
its up to you how you want to proceed
