That should be the case, yes. I occasionally use portupgrade, and occasionally do upgrading directly from the Ports tree, and haven't had any issues with it yet. pkg_version and friends still work great, and when I want to use portupgrade it still works, even if I previously upgraded straight from the ports tree (a la 'cd /usr/ports/ category/port && make && make install')
