Sorry I did not answer for a long time. I have no time for portupgrade
till today. I've found the big and fix it in portupgrade-devel (version
2.2.4). It would be great if you test it (anyone who want are welcome).

You can follow the steps to upgrade:

portupgrade -fo ports-mgmt/portupgrade-devel portupgrade
pkgdb -L (it fixes lost dependencies. you could want to backup your
/var/db/pkg to compare afterwards)
pkgdb -F

... and work as usualy
