Thanks, Kent. I was following the procedure in /usr/ports/UPDATING, and the 
question seemed so out of context... I mean "openoffice-1.1.0_1(score:23%)" - 
what's with that? 

Anyway, as I read ports-using.html from the Handbook, portupgrade -a is a 
"superset" of "portupgrade -rRa"... is that correct?

Bottom line here (in my case) is this: I'm afraid my ports tree may be BFU; 
this all started when I tried to install the "K3b" port which apparently has 
a bazillion dependencies. At least one of the tar.gz files couldn't be 
located, and things have kind of gone downhill from there :(    For me, I'm 
afraid that salvation may require "wiping" the entire ports tree, and 
re-installing it from the 5.2 cd.   Is there a safe & clean way  to do that?

Thanks,
Jay
