Try portmanager instead.

Portupgrade, and the other "package-tools" installed by the portupgrade port, 
are highly dependent on the package database and need it to self-consistent. 
Portmanger uses the information in the port makefiles instead, which makes it 
much more robust. This also means it's working from information about how 
thing should be, rather than how they are/were.
