I'd never seen it with portupgrade, either.  Don't know the cause, but 
it can be a problem.  portmaster --check-depends might fix it.  A more 
brute-force way is to figure out which are the problems with
find /var/db/pkg -name "+CONTENTS" -exec egrep -B1 -H 'pkgdep $' {} \;
Then rebuild all of them by feeding the list to portmaster, which will 
sort them and rebuild in the right order to fix it.
