That was the reason portupgrade didn't work as well. I ended up hacking the support tool and pkg_upgrade to do what I needed, but they are both definitely broken. iirc, one of the issues with uma was it's url generation. It would generate urls like 9-RELEASE instead of 9.0-RELEASE, the former being the format for 9-STABLE and the later (which I needed) was for an upgrade for a release. Sadly, I've forgotten the other issues, but I remember making about 3 hacks to the tools to get it working.
