Hrmmn. Well, you can get a count of how many ports will be updated by:
# portupgrade -n --all 2>/dev/null|grep Upgrading|wc -l
(note that -Rr is superfluous when you're just using -a)

Then, I suppose that you could use a * glob in AFTERINSTALL in
pkgtools.conf to increment something, or add a line to a file and
compare its length, or something like that.

IOW, not really. But the first command minus the wc
# portupgrade -n --all 2>/dev/null|grep Upgrading
will give you a picture of how many -- and which -- ports are going to
be updated.

Alternatively, you could just portupgrade more often ;;)
