Thanks Remko. That would explain why portupgrade thinks its downgrading. 
The funny thing is that "portupgrade icc" before produced the message:

Go to Intel Premier Support ... obtain l_cc_pc_8.0.058.tar.gz 
l_cc_pc_8.0.058_pe061.tar.gz ... 
Put l_cc_pc_8.0.058.tar.gz l_cc_pc_8.0.058_pe061.tar.gz into 
/usr/ports/distfiles and run make again" ... 

when icc-8.0.058 was installed.
