When I have done that, what I did was portupgrade -ufa I have found that -rR only upgrades what portversion -c thinks should be upgraded. I personally feel that if an important library has been updated, then the codes that use it should be too. You never know if a structure has been changed in a header file. Old builds would have used the old structures. To build all of the dependancies, I have found that I have to force (-f) and I have also started using (-u) to save some file space.
