     -P
     --use-packages         Use packages instead of ports whenever available.
                            portupgrade searches the local directories listed
                            in PKG_PATH for each package to install or upgrade
                            the current installation with, and if none is
                            found, pkg_fetch(1) is invoked to fetch one from a
                            remote site.  If it doesn't work either, the port
                            is used.

     -PP
     --use-packages-only    Never use the port even if a package is not avail-
                            able either locally or remotely, although you
                            still have to keep your ports tree up-to-date so
                            that portupgrade can check out what the latest
                            version of each port is.
