Sorry for not responding earlier... an unusual confluence of the 
stars allowed me to take an actual vacation that involved no 
computers other than a GPS locator. Perhaps you've solved this by 
now, but if not:

man script

Use script to capture your entire upgrade process for analysis. Look 
not only at the end where things totally crap out, but possibly much 
earlier where things may start to fail in a non-fatal way (esp. if 
you are portupgrading a glob of things, or -a, rather than focusing 
on individual packages).
