While this isn't related to the OP's question, it might be helpful to
him.


I find portmanager to be vastly superior to portupgrade.

In one fell swoop you can update any new ports + rebuild all
dependencies. 

It works well. Combine it with portsnap and life is good! =)

It doesn't have a ruby dependency either. Give it a whirl.  It rocks.
