If you really read it carefully you'd know that "portupgrade -a"
resolves all dependencies in the right order and that "-Rr" in this case
doesn't make any sense.

You can run
# portupgrade -an | grep "+ "

for a list of ports that would be build and visit them manually. If you
use csh or a compatible shell you can use
# portupgrade -an |& grep "+ "

to get more compact output. Alternatively a small shell script for this
task is easily written.
