IMO this doesn't make any sense. If portupgrade is failing on a port
where manual "make install" works, then portupgrade simply has a bug.
Any port upgrading tool belongs in a port, because it's more important
that it responds to changes in the ports system than changes in the
base system. 

As to upgrading piecemeal rather than with -a, I don't see how that
helps, and it may actually make things worse by not building in
dependency order.
