Feel free. Note that the problem should hit many other ports, like
www/caudium12. Also, have you tried to *run* bpm without portupgrade in
your $PATH? AFAICS bpm assumes to find portupgrade there (granted: I
haven't tried, just looked at the source, so I may be wrong).
In my book, not having ${LOCALBASE}/sbin in your path is calling for
trouble, since you assume that every binary that uses these tools have
their path hardcoded. When you extend this to ${LOCALBASE}/bin, you will
even exclude more binaries...
