I guess I would want to run portmanager in a force
update mode.

	portmanager -u -f -l -y

should do it. It will create a log in
/var/log/portmanager.log so at least we can see what
transpires. The '-y' flag may not be necessary, but
should not hurt. It will force it to answer yes to any
questions. The only problem that I could forsee is the
building of Java. Those files would have to be
download prior to the build and installed in the
/usr/ports/distfiles directory. I think portmanager by
default does not do Java. That means that the
pm-020.conf file will have to be modified. Not a big
deal though.
