What (I think) you want to do is:
pkg_add -r javavmwrapper-1.4	# Fetch remotely along with dependencies
pkg_add -r urwfonts-1.0		# same as above but the other package
pkg_add jdk-1.4.2p6_4.tgz	# install from local copy

That way you don't have to worry about fetching all the dependencies for 
the stuff you fetch remotely.

You can tell portupgrade to prefer packages to ports (but I forget the 
specific command line). See the man page for portupgrade if you want to 
try this.

I don't really like portupgrade. It seams to destablalize my system too 
much. I prefer cvssup and packages/ports.
