Yes. portupgrade screws up the port registration files when you run
pkgdb -F.  These are the files in /var/db/pkg/{portname}/+CONTENTS 

Portmanager does not mess with the registration files and can usually 
straighten out the damage caused by pkgdb -F. As portmanager runs it 
gives you good feedback on what it is doing and why, and if you 
disagree or just question something it is perfectly safe to ctrl-C out 
of it.  When start again and it will just pick up from when you left 
off.
