Actually you can ditch it anyway, all of the library are either part of 6.0 or 
left behind from 5.4, but it's good to rebuild.

The trouble with  portupgrade -af is that it is not restartable. I'd use 
either the latest portmanager, or  something like: 
portupgrade -f  '<2005-11-30 20:37'     See pkg_glob(1)

If you use BATCH=yes, most ports will do their best to come up with sensible 
settings based on the arguments you supply.
