gnome_upgrade problems

[Michael Pope]

  I'm trying to run gnome_upgrade.sh on my FreeBSD5.3_p2 system with a 
heap of ports which use the gnome libraries for example firefox.


When I started gnome_upgrade.sh i ran it with this command:
/usr/ports # sh ./gnome_upgrade.sh

It kept bombing out on unfetched ports, so I had to go and get them and 
copy those into the /usr/ports/distfiles directory and restart with the 
same command as above.

After doing this a few times it finished but it has removed most of my 
applications not reinstalling them as it said it would?

Is there something i'm doing wrong here?
Is there a was to resume when I restart the process?
Am I expected to go through and reinstall all my ports which used gnome 
libraries again?
