  You must set the XORG_UPGRADE environment variable to YES, and the script
is made through the command line in the UPGRADE file using the script(1)
utility.

  If you want a 100% secure X.Org upgrading, try 'portupgrade -vfarR', but
this recompiles all your installed ports... use -P instead of -f if you want
to install binary packages.
