If you want to keep a backup of the older files and build a package 
after install then it is the command but it won't upgrade the 
dependencies. If dependencies need to be upgraded also you might end up 
with different versions of dependencies.
Since I'm not interested in keeping a backup or build a package I always 
use this:

# portupgrade -R port_name

The -R makes sure it builds my out of date dependencies also

Variables in portsupgrade are set in /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf there 
should a sample in there also.
