I did the same update without incident. You might want to place

BATCH=yes

in the /etc/make.conf file to stop those pesky prompts from appearing.
It won't correct the reboots however. Are you sure it is being cause by

spontaneous reboot or is a message of some type displayed?

I am sure someone here probably has an answer for you though.
