Portmanager doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles, and it's by far the slowest upgrade tool around. People who use it do so because it's the most thorough tool around. By contrast portmaster uses a fairly minimalist approach. Portmaster is a clear alternative to portupgrade, it's not really a replacement for portmanager.
