Do you use:

https://www.freshports.org/ports-mgmt/port-maintenance-tools/

? I ask because:

https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2021-February/120156.html

reported having to reinstall it to get rid of having
"Warning: Major OS version upgrade detected" notices.

Since it is a meta-port, the thing that was fixed might
have been fixed via one or more of (from freshports):

Runtime dependencies:
	• portupgrade : ports-mgmt/portupgrade
	• svn : devel/subversion
	• pkg_cutleaves : ports-mgmt/pkg_cutleaves
	• pkg_tree : ports-mgmt/pkg_tree
	• portdowngrade : ports-mgmt/portdowngrade
