While this is the preferred procedure and I highly recommend it, it
does far more that the portupgrade procedure in the handbook. The man
page has a simpler (and more likely to leave old cruft lying around)
procedure, as well.
     Alternatively you could use portmaster -a -f -D to do an ``in place''
     update of your ports.  If that process is interrupted for any reason you
     can use portmaster -a -f -D -R to avoid rebuilding ports already rebuilt
     on previous runs.  However the first method (delete everything and rein-
     stall) is preferred.
