I've no idea, I'm afraid, since my main port upgrading machine is
a weekly-tracked 3.3-STABLE, and the other testbox runs various
flavors of -CURRENT.

As mentioned at http://www.freebsd.org/ports/, the up-to-date ports
tree is only officially supported on -STABLE and -CURRENT, so in the
event of a failure, you're likely to see a standard "upgrade to the
latest -STABLE" response.

However, a 3.2-{RELEASE,STABLE} to 3.3-STABLE upgrade should be
relatively painless.  "make world" should run without any problems,
and the excellent mergemaster program (in the ports tree) will help
out with any changes in /etc

Good luck :)
