I usually use portupgrade to install newer versions of the ports, but on
the rare occasion that doesn't work, I always use the following from the
port directory:

make && make deinstall reinstall clean

Even when the port has been cleaned from the previous build, which is
always the case (disk space can get pretty scarce if you keep all those
ports built), this almost always works for me.  On the very rare
occasion that it doesn't, I at least get some kind of useful error
message.
