I don't know if this is the best way, but I always try a portupgrade -r port and look at the exact error make gives. > I don't know how important ruby-fnmatch is.

Also look at the -M option with portinstall/portupgrade. Then have a look at man make.conf . You can set permanent variables for ports there to make sure they are always used on your upgrades.
