I have noticed it doesn't chase *any* dependencies that need upgrading  
if the base port specified doesn't need updating.  For example, if  
pcre is outdated and I do "portupgrade -Rrv postfix" it will do  
nothing unless postfix itself needs updating too, even though it is a  
dependency.

This is very un-useful behavior.
