In future you might try the 6-stable packages. The fruitsalad servers were 
particularly good because they built for each release branch and built all 
the packages needed by KDE.

Now I come to think about it, I didn't have a good experience with the -P 
option. IIRC portupgrade -P doesn't handle new dependencies very well, which 
makes it particularly unsuitable for installs.
