This is a difficult question to answer, because it depends on the exact 
configurations -- some modules are just fine, but some others mess things up, 
when ImageMagick unloads them (via dlclose())...

Jasper was a bad offender in the past, but I patched it a few weeks ago. 
There, probably, remain other evil-doers :(

That said, you do not need module support -- there is no gain from them. 
Adding a third-party module (if any exists at all) remains possible even if 
ImageMagick's own modules are all linked in.

If you rebuilt the OpenEXR recently (be sure to read /usr/ports/UPDATING for 
details), you can ignore the OpenEXR warning. For DjVu it is, probably, best 
to just disable it -- it requires threads, which often make PerlMagick 
unusable, because perl is not threaded by default on FreeBSD.

Unless you know, you need DjVu support for something, PerlMagick is, probably, 
more important to you than DjVu...

The warnings aren't supposed to trigger portupgrade's failure, but I rarely 
use the tool. There, likely, exists an option to cause it to try building the 
port regardless...
