OK, after reading this tutorial, here is MY new WAY.


  /usr/local/bin/cvsup -g -L 2 /root/cvsup/ports-supfile
  portsdb -Uu
  portversion -l "<"   [to see if any ports will be upgraded]
  portupgrade -arR   [so dependencies will be installed, if necessary]
  [NB. If ever asked to run pkgdb -F, do it]

Taking into consideration other issues or options pointed out on the 
web tutorial, will this be a good strategy from now on for performing 
good port upgrades?
