I didn't say portupgrade, it is sysutils/portmanager

While your problem has nothing to do with gnome-upgrade.sh, portmanager
is designed to automatically pickup from where it left off, so stopping and 
starting isn't a problem, and it won't remove a port until its replacement is 
successfully built so if the port didn't fetch you won't lose anything, 
portmanager will just move on to the next port that can be upgraded,  it is 
very fail safe.

of freebsd-stable at freebsd.org.
