It take a little bit more to upgrade your installed ports than just use 
portupgrade!  Most probably you started using portupgrade without doing 
pkgdb -F first and portsdb -Uu.  You should uninstall every port that 
has double versions installed, uninstall both of them and then follow 
the instructions on this site to upgrade and reinstall the ports:
