portupgrade is written in ruby -- having its command interpreter ripped
out from underneath it does tend to cramp its style somewhat. Actually,
the specific reason it crashes is the ruby-18-dbXX module, which also
needs to be recompiled.
The best way around the problem is to delete portupgrade and everything
it depends on, and then reinstall from the ports directly:
# pkg_deinstall -Rf portupgrade-2.4.6_4,2
# cd /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portupgrade
# make install
# make clean
If you do this first, you can then run portupgrade -af, which will
recompile ruby and dependencies, but because everything is already
recompiled, its compatible and you don't get a crash.

Fix portupgrade as shown above, then run something like this:
# portupgrade -x ">=2010-06-23" -af
This says: "upgrade everything, except those packages installed more
recently than 2010-06-23." You should chose the date where you
*started* your original portupgrade -af session.
Cheers,
Matthew
