I am learning to keep ports up-to-date with portupgrade and am
not sure about when one should use the -R or -r flags.

The documentation explains what they do, but given an outdated
port on what basis does one decide that -r or -R must be used?
For instance, let's suppose portversion | grep '<' gives

    imlib                       <
    ispell                      <
    jpeg                        <
    libglade                    <

Those are libraries and programs, what would you take into account
or what information would you consult to know if -r or -R need to
be used for each of them?

Thank you very much,
