when a process dies, in general all of its child processes die with it. in
this case the portupgrade process is a child of the ssh session and dies
when you log out.
the solution is nohup(1):
% nohup portupgrade $options &
which should leave the process running after you log out, and will dump
the output to the file nohup.out unless you redirect it elsewhere.
