That should be the case, yes. I occasionally use portupgrade, and
occasionally do upgrading directly from the Ports tree, and haven't
had any issues with it yet. pkg_version and friends still work great,
and when I want to use portupgrade it still works, even if I
previously upgraded straight from the ports tree (a la 'cd /usr/ports/
category/port && make && make install')
