I don't see anything int he handbook referencing portmaster, only
references to portupgrade. That was my point.

for example....

......................................

All third party software will now need to be rebuilt and re-installed.
This is required as installed software may depend on libraries which
have been removed during the upgrade process. The ports-mgmt/portupgrade
<http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/url.cgi?ports/ports-mgmt/portupgrade/pkg-descr>
command may be used to automate this process. The following commands may
be used to begin this process:

# portupgrade -f ruby
# rm /var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db
# portupgrade -f ruby18-bdb
# rm /var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db /usr/ports/INDEX-*.db
# portupgrade -af

Once this has completed, finish the upgrade process with a final call to
freebsd-update. Issue the following command to tie up all loose ends in
the upgrade process:

# freebsd-update install


......................................

It would be nice, since portupgrade is now deprecated, to replace this section 
(and others), with the portmaster procedure.
