The recommended procedure for upgrading major branches is to wipe out
all of your ports, then build again from scratch. I know that you said
you're a portupgrade user, but FYI the portmaster man page has a
procedure for doing this that has worked well for me, and other users.
Even if you choose not to use portmaster you might want to take a look
at the list of steps.
