I have the feeling that you didn't post the exact error message that you 
get?
So with or without -r is only guessing.
It will be very useful  to know what failed - portupgrade ot just build 
and the error messages of course.

And if you posted the error, but nobody can see it, this is because you 
break the thread with subject
"NIC (Network Card) is not detected by FreeBSD 6.2 into PowerEdge Blade 
1955 Server"
and I personally am little lost in your mails ;)

There are simple rules if you want everybody to understand you:
 new problem - new thread,
do not top post ;)
and of course the most important - explain you problem better - not just 
"XX does not work, problem?".
Explain what you did and how the OS respond, what version you use and etc.

After you provide this information we'll gladly help you (if we can)  :)
