While the manual (man) pages aren't always crystal clear, the one for  
portupgrade is actually pretty good at explaining what all those letter  
options are for.  Just type at the prompt:

$ man portupgrade

You'll have a much better idea of what the options do and which ones you  
want to use for a given situation.
