Well i have ran into the same situation.I just added f for force and afterwards i updated everything that could be upgraded.

So i most of the times use portsdb -Ufu and portupgrade -afrR or -arR serie/(meta-)app.This seems to work for me.Strange though because portsdb -Uu seemed to work for me until lately.
