Sorry.  I meant that I had placed a few ports in 'new' directories.  By 
that I meant:
  - I went to the FreeBSD Ports site
  - found a port I wanted to upgrade (firefox or fluxbox for example)
  - 'make deinstall'ed the one that was installed.
  - Copied the directory on the site to a folder within the ports tree 
with a similar but different name.
  - and then did a 'make install clean'

Then I was enlightened to the fact that this was... not the way to do 
things.  So on to portupgrades I went.  First one or two went without a 
hitch.
