OK, since I had upgraded to 6.1-RELEASE, I used portsnap to get the 
ports, then I used pkg_add -r to get portupgrade and then, as a test ran

  portupgrade -PP expat

It failed to update expat however, because it kept looking in the 
6.0-RELEASE paths.  I presume this is because even though the binary 
upgrade of the base to 6.1 went well, uname, etc., think I still have a 
6.0 machine.  So where is the *real* version id stored and how can it be 
(should it be?) safely modified?
