Hmm, I don't know about a *better* "Piece Of Software" ;)
but Portmanager also claims it can update all your ports,
and goes about it slightly differently.  Let's say it's "Similar"
and remove the need for asbestos underclothing.

I still find myself using both it and portupgrade from time
to time, though, but I can't for sure answer the "why" on that....
