Work out what went wrong, fix it and then just run: # portupgrade -af '<2004-01-15' which does a forced update of all packages installed before the given date. (Note: -R and -r are unnecessary with -a). Rinse, repeat. Until all your ports are up to date. Usually ports problems are either inability to download the required distfiles or a temporary SNAFU by the port maintainer/committer. In most cases it suffices to wait a few hours or days, re-cvsup the ports tree and start the portupgrade job again.
