Hi Noah,
I get this a lot on one of my systems. Just that one - no idea why.
Anyway, I find including option -O allows most things to ignore stale
links, including portupgrade.
Oh - did you try installing portupgrade-devel and not portupgrade? That
helped me out of a hole once and now I use it for everything.
HtH,
