You'll want to look through ports manpage. It only takes
a minute to read, but saves you a lifetime of questions.

As I understand, you're dealing with "kind of" bug in
glib20 port. You might be lucky enough so that
portupgrade will get over it - and fix everything.

By the way, did you update the INDEX files in
/usr/ports? Run portsdb -uUF to fetch and install a
fresh index. Do it every time after cvsupping your
ports tree.

For now, try:

# cd /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade
# make install
<If it fails, post the errors here, please>
# cvsup -g -L 2 <your-ports-supfile>
# portsdb -uUF
# portversion -l\<
<Show's what's outdated>
# portupgrade -arR
<Tries to upgrade what's outdated>
