Hi. Sorry, this is not a fix for your problem, just a tip for the 
next time...

Ouch! :-(

The next time you use portupgrade, check out the -b flag, which will 
create, and *keep*,  a package of the old version, and save it in /var/tmp (if you 
have not set $PKG_TMPDIR or $TMPDIR) -- regardless of the success of 
the upgrade.
I hope you can get your data back.
Best wishes,
