I have seen portupgrade behave this way in the past and everytime it
happens to me I find I have an out of date ports INDEX.  This might seem
obvious, but I infrequently find the INDEX update slipping my mind.  If
you haven't already, you might try 'portsdb -uU' on that system and then
see if you can use portupgrade to build and install those ports.
