Kris, I made a link to the Makefiles I used on the web page, here it is 
again:

http://portmanager.sunsite.dk/portupgradeTest.html

and the Makefiles are in

http://portmanager.sunsite.dk/distfiles/portUpgradeTest.tar.gz

I just tried -Rf on the test set and you are correct, using 
masterPort as the target:

portupgrade -Rf builds masterPorts dependencies in the correct order ie:

masterPort
dependentPort-A
dependentPort-B

However, it still builds everthing and has to be applied to one port at 
a time.  The closer analogy to portmanager would have to be

portupgrade -aRf but this would result in every installed port being 
upgraded, where as portmanager will start with out of date
dependencies then proceed up the chain to ports that depend on them, it
won't rebuild dependencies that were never upgraded.

One other thing I might as well mention, portmanager  has no run time 
dependencies, and does not use /usr/ports/INDEX.
