That is (cd /var/db/pkg) just crude, and should not be necessary
according to portupgrade(1)...

  OPTIONS
      The following command line arguments are supported:

      pkgname_glob  Specify one of these: a full pkgname, a pkgname
                    without version, a shell glob pattern in which you
                    can use wildcards `*', `?', and `[..]', an
                    extended regular expression preceded by a colon
                    `:', or a date range specification preceded by
                    either `<' or `>'.  See pkg_glob(1) for details
                    and concrete examples.


...so if "portupgrade 'p5-*'" (keep the single quotes, but not the
double in actual usage) does not work, OP should file a problem report
(via send-pr(1)).
