If that's exactly how you ran portupgrade, then I'm afraid you won't have
any log info anywhere.

You need the -L flag to portupgrade, which takes a printf(3) style
format string (see man portupgrade for an example of how to use it), 
or you can run portupgrade in a script(1) session, something like this:

 # script /var/log/portupgrade.log portupgrade -fa

Note that this approach will log ALL output generated by portupgrade, 
stderr and stdout, so the log file will get large.
