do you want to upgrade all upgradable ports on your machine ?
i use portmanager -u and/or portupgrade -arvy
i've started using portmanager since i've read good things about it many

however, if portmanager ends up with errors i use e.g. portupgrade -rf
postgrey* to correct those errors
i like the combination of both
