Read the 20070519 entry carefully, and follow the instructions, in  
the order presented, carefully.  If they don't work, you should use  
script or nohup to save the error messages to a logfile which you  
quote in followup emails so we can take a look.

In order words, you should start with:

    portupgrade -f -o ports-mgmt/portupgrade-devel portupgrade
