If you've already have a backup /var/db/pkg using "pkgdb -F" before you 
portupgrade all the port, maybe you can cover the new pkg folder in /var/db 
with the old one you saved and portupgrade again. I am not sure is it a right 
workaround, but it worked for me when I encountered the similar problem.

And there is one more thing need to be mentioned. You should not run two or 
more portupgrade commands at the same time.

Good luck.
