You missed a step between cvsup and portupgrade. less /usr/ports/UPGRADING ... and read, to check out what will happen when certain ports are updated. Looks much the same as I how I do it. I dont do a portversion. You might want to create a portupgrade log with the -l switch on portupgrade. Then, after its complete check for failed entries i.e. those marked with "!" or "*" so you can manually check out the problem Also, you may want to add a "portsclean" at the end to remove old distfiles etc. "man portsclean" will give all the relevant options.
