     That did get me a bit farther.  However, the upgrade quit again.  Here's
what it did (with the bulk of the successful stuff deleted here for brevity):

      You may wish to ``make deinstall'' and install this port again
      by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly.
      If you really wish to overwrite the old port of x11/xextproto
      without deleting it first, set the variable "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER"
      in your environment or the "make install" command line.

     So I tried to do what it said to do:

hellas # pushd /usr/ports/x11/xextproto
/usr/ports/x11/xextproto ~ 
hellas # make deinstall
===>  Deinstalling for x11/xextproto

===>   xextproto not installed, skipping

     That leaves me stuck once again.

     You have confused me with another person.  I am not the system
administrator on this machine.  I simply handle my email on it.  The most
likely reason for the failure would be that the system administrator has
blocked either your individual IP address or a range (usually /24) of IP
addresses that includes yours due to an email abuse problem originating
there when a) there is no functioning abuse or postmaster address or b) it
is in a part of the world where resolution of such problems is unlikely
(e.g., China, South Korea, Viet Nam, Nigeria).
     If you feel that your system was blocked improperly or that the
conditions leading to the block have since been eliminated, you can write,
of course, to postmaster at cs.niu.edu to see if he is willing to remove the
block.  (You might also wish to check at www.rfc-ignorant.org to see whether
your system is currently on any of the blacklists there.)
     In any case, thank you very much for directing me to the now correct
version of portupgrade, which did allow me to get a few minutes farther into
the X.org upgrade process.
