Since I bumped PORTREVISION on all ports that depended on glib20, you
should be okay.  Plus, portupgrade runs in a greedy way such that it
will update the most possible ports before dying due to failure. 
Removing the -f should be safe.  The important thing is making sure the
final reinstall stage works correctly.  If not, you'll be missing
certain ports, and things like the keyboard may not work right anymore.
