I think just `portupgrade -aR` is ok, since all libraries should remain binary compatible. If not, they increase their major version number. And most of the time, you will find a port that is for the binary incompatible library. Eg gtk12, gtk20. That save you so much time when trying to upgrade. I usually portupgrade every three or four days.
