I have found portmanager to be more intelligent.  When
you run it it takes a look at all installed ports and
then it decides what order to upgrade the ports and
their dependencies.  Portupgrade proceeds linearly and
you may need to run it a few more times for everything
to be upgraded.  At least that's how I understand it.
