You should have a gnome_upgrade_lst.* file in /var/tmp, or wherever MC_TMPDIR was pointed. If you run gnome_upgrade.sh -restart <lst file> gnome_upgrade.sh will pick up where it left off, and re-add the remaining ports. Alternatively, you can do: cat /var/tmp/gnome_upgrade_lst.* | xargs portinstall But the upgrade script wraps things nicely for you.
