Just adding: expect breakage if you do not routinely check 
/usr/ports/UPDATING before throwing portupgrade -a or portmaster -a at 
the new ports.

The ports team has really improved the situation, but once in a while 
there are still manual steps that must be taken before doing a mass 
upgrade of ports.

See http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/docs/html/portupgrade.html for more 
detail.
