That means "reinstall libxslt and everything that depends upon it."

> I get alot more stuff being rebuilt then when I just:

> # cd /usr/ports/textproc/libxslt/
> # make deinstall
> # make reinstall

That means "reinstall only libxslt."

> Why is a portupgrade different from a reinstall?

Because a reinstall that causes a bump in a library's major number will
cause everything that used the old library to break. A recursive
portupgrade (portupgrade -rf) ensures that apps use only the libraries
that actually exist.
