Unfortunately portupgrade knows nothing about how neon26 relate with
neon28. You should upgrade it by yourself with the command:
portupgrade -o www/neon28 neon
How it's described in entry 20080701 of UPDATING file. Reading this file
is useful when you got any troubles. Or even better before you any
upgrading.
