>Description:
portupgrade tries to install dependencies that are already present, i.e. its dependency calculation seems to be b0rken. Example (this also happens with other ports):

julian at occam:~ portinstall --version
portinstall 2.4.6
julian at occam:~ pkg_info | grep p5-gett
p5-gettext-1.05_2   Message handling functions
julian at occam:~ sudo portinstall  help2man        
[Gathering depends for misc/help2man .......... done]
--->  Installing 'p5-gettext-1.05_2' from a port (devel/p5-Locale-gettext)
--->  Building '/usr/ports/devel/p5-Locale-gettext'
[...]
--->  Installing the new version via the port
===>  Installing for p5-gettext-1.05_2
===>   p5-gettext-1.05_2 depends on file: /usr/local/bin/perl5.8.8 - found
===>   p5-gettext-1.05_2 depends on shared library: intl - found
===>   Generating temporary packing list
===>  Checking if devel/p5-Locale-gettext already installed
===>   p5-gettext-1.05_2 is already installed
      You may wish to ``make deinstall'' and install this port again
      by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly.
      If you really wish to overwrite the old port of devel/p5-Locale-gettext
      without deleting it first, set the variable "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER"
      in your environment or the "make install" command line.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/devel/p5-Locale-gettext.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/devel/p5-Locale-gettext.
** Command failed [exit code 1]: /usr/bin/script -qa /tmp/portinstall.20119.0 env make reinstall
** Fix the installation problem and try again.
--->  Skipping 'misc/help2man' because a requisite port 'devel/p5-Locale-gettext' failed (specify -k to force)
** Listing the failed packages (-:ignored / *:skipped / !:failed)
        ! devel/p5-Locale-gettext       (install error)
