Anyway, we always have the latest ports tree (it's actually mounted read-only via NFS on every FreeBSD machine at our site) and if you don't want to update all at once - just don't use portupgrade -a. And yes, in case your whole ports tree is fresh, portupgrade -rR glib will upgrade all dependencies and dependants (recursively).
