It probably means that you've got to do some "manual magic" - generally, accept a license or perform some action that requires visiting a site and registering, etc. YMMV. If setting BATCH=yes in your environment doesn't work with portupgrade, then "make deinstall" followed by "make reinstall", or perhaps "make reinstall" with FORCE_PKG_REGISTER set; I dunno for sure what that might do to your package db though, so at your own risk (wouldn't damage it beyond all repair, but it might make it a lil' funny).
