Actually, as Ben Kaduk noted:

    Thanks for noticing the discrepancy, but -PP is actually the
    correct way to avoid using ports

It's the right place.  In the future, it may be worth filing a but
report with send-pr, so that the change doesn't "fall through the
cracks" and get forgotten.

I've committed the following fix:

%         <application>portupgrade</application> will use ports.
%         To avoid using ports, specify <option>-PP</option>.</para>
%
% -      <screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>portupgrade -PR gnome2</userinput></screen>
% +      <screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>portupgrade -PP gnome2</userinput></screen>

Thanks for reading our documentation so carefully, but most of all thank
you for letting us know, so it can be fixed :-)
