Something tells me, that that doesn't come from an exhaustive walkthrough of the source code. All of the upgrade tools have significant faults, but portmanager has a particularly good track record of performing difficult major upgrades without manual intervention. The fact that it performs several rebuilds is not a sign that it's more broken, but rather a sign that it tries harder to find a self-consistent solution.
