# portupgrade -a
works fine, if you do it regularily, i.e. there isn't too much to 
be updated and thus not too much that could be messed up.

Before you start you should check /usr/ports/UPDATING if there 
are any ports that need special treatmentâand make sure
# pkgdb -F
doesn't show any inconsistencies.

Good Luck,

Uli.
