portupgrade -fr textproc/expat2 -x '>=XXX' 
or
 
o      replace XXX  with  the first built ports name
	if you are sure of the port which is built first
oo   replace XXX with date
	'2004-8-23' if you did the first upgrade today

first one would exclude anything that installed after given port.
if you are not sure of the first build then i dont recomend using this.

second one should build install any other dependency that was not
installed on given date or later (this SHOULD exclude all 44 dependencies that 
were isntalled)

see portupgrade(1) examples  for some more examples
