Maintainer of portupgrade here... I did not see this post until just now.

It should be enough to just install the missing dependencies. You may
have to do this manually outside of portupgrade, and then run 'pkgdb
-uf'. I am exploring how to make this automatically fix itself.

If all else fails, portmaster is an option as well.

You don't *have* to use packages.
