When I moved from the 4.0 CD to the 4.6 pre-release, I cvsup'ed the ports tree and then executed the following. # portsupgrade -cO > upgrade.sh (edit upgrade.sh to remove the packages you really don't want upgraded) # sh upgrade.sh # portsdb -Uu # pkgdb -F (with a much smaller number of out of date origins...) In this case, all installed ports are upgraded to their current versions. This seems to have worked well. I avoided the interactive ports and didn't meet with much success building KDE. (Might want to look at pkgtools.conf before you try this.) If you use portsclean (-CDD) things should get cleaned up afterwards.
