Again, from the manpage ...
" -x GLOB
--exclude GLOB Exclude packages matching the specified
glob pattern. Exclusion is
performed after recursing dependency in response to -r
and/or -R, which means, for example, the following command
will upgrade all the packages depending on XFree86
but leave XFree86 as it is:
portupgrade -rx XFree86 XFree86"
