You don't want to have /usr/ports out of sync.  You want to let
cvsup/portsnap do it's thing.  It's ideal to have the whole ports
collection up-to-date.  You may want to start with a clean slate and
cvsup/portsnap a fresh copy of the ports collection if you think that
something is amiss.  You can make a backup of /usr/ports for peace of
mind too.

Also, can you please supply exactly what ports you're talking about
and what commands you are running to upgrade?  Error output for the
ports you say are broken would be another good thing to supply.
