Well, a quick test seems to prove this theory false. 

I have a system that I have removed all teh non English language port
directories, and I run a cvsup _with_ a refuse file for these. Then I did a
portdb -Uu. This resulted in a fair number of complaints, but when I ran
portupgrade -aRr it hapilly took of running.

Granted this sytem only has 19 ports installed. But it seems to work. Am I
missing somehting hrere?
