I have seen something like this but it's not what you think it is.
What happens is that portupgrade recognizes some port needs to be
installed, and schedules it --- then some other port which needs it
installs/upgrades it as a dependency. this also leads to portupgrade
failing in the case of a new port because it tries to install it when
it's already been installed (I work around with FORCE_PKG_REGISTER=1)
