1) i would wish for portupgrade to automatically meet new requirements upon 
upgrading. both pkg_add and make install do this, portupgrade should too. 
upgrading a port and not installing a new requirement is almost never desired 
and shouldnt be default. (i.e. -R should not be required for this, instead if 
at all it should be achieved by -N )

2) when using portupgrade in -P mode it should check dependencies before(!) 
doing a make install, otherwise requirements will always be installed via 
source, even though a current package might exist. an example:
port A has no package and requires B that does have package. if i 
portupgrade -P "A"
both are installed from source although B could have - and following the 
manual for -P, should have - been installed via package.


anyway thank you very much for your work!
