OK, since I had upgraded to 6.1-RELEASE, I used portsnap to get the
ports, then I used pkg_add -r to get portupgrade and then, as a test ran
portupgrade -PP expat
It failed to update expat however, because it kept looking in the
6.0-RELEASE paths. I presume this is because even though the binary
upgrade of the base to 6.1 went well, uname, etc., think I still have a
6.0 machine. So where is the *real* version id stored and how can it be
(should it be?) safely modified?
