I wouldn't recomend doing all at once, but "portupgrade -u '*'" will
do the job as long as all the installed ports have their origin info
recorded. Relatively newly installed ones should have it. Try
running "pkg_info -o /var/db/pkg/*" to see which ports lack that info.
Currently there's no handy way to complement it, so upgrade it using
portupgrade's -o option. (See portupgrade's README for details)
e.g.:
portupgrade -fu -o shells/zsh-devel zsh
portupgrade -ucCp '*'
portupgrade -cC gnome\*
I've been planning to write a tool to complete origins and some people
kindly submitted me suggestions, but unfortunately I don't have enough
time to write a decent one...
Portupgrade is in the ports tree, address sysutils/portupgrade.
