Below is a link to an article about portupgrade, a port that manages the 
upgrading of ports.  Portupgrade has options to upgrade port dependencies as 
well as other ports that use the port you're upgrading.  If you use the -n 
switch, portupgrade will report the steps required without actually 
performing the upgrade.
