David, thank you for the suggestion. However (and I address this to the
FreeBSD ports mantainers):

All I want is functional portupgrade(1) for FreeBSD.

Please, port maintainers, consider portupgrade a bit more of
a priority. Having this ruby18 blocking is causing me to waste
considerable time looking for a workaround.
