Provided your pkg_tools still exist the following could be useful, I've haphazardly
got it running for several hours (.tbz are present from another machine for
portmaster in portmaster-download...).
Sometimes it freezes, but cntl-c it restarts again ( A directory had disappeared
upon its port reinstall, but the CLI continues .)

cd /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.12.4
for i in $(find . -type d), do
find . -type f | xargs -J % pkg_which | xargs -J % portmaster -d -B -P -i -x gcc-4.7.3.20130323 -R % && cd /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.12.4 && pkgdb -u 

Note that only a template to modify-then-test, [ I ran it, it started to update too
much, I might have modified it more, OR maybe it restarted as intended upon
cntl-c the first time.  Additionally, the first part (the -type d line) does not show in
the history of the command, so I cannot be sure of more than one thing in that
command.  
Howsoever, it has been running over an hour with only occaisional freezes, 
restarting upon cntl-c without reentering the command, and may be useful
for someone more expert in shell mechanisms than I to use to craft an
all-inclusive python-after-upgrade, perl-after-upgrade, ruby-after-upgrade
shell script(s)... 
Several weeks before I can test it on another machine, am out of time.
