Just to illustrate the problem, here is what I get :
mplayer# echo $PATH
/root/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin
mplayer# portupgrade -f mplayer\*
[...]
===> mplayer-0.99.5_6 depends on executable: imake - not found
===> Verifying install for imake in /usr/ports/devel/imake-6
===> Extracting for imake-6.8.1
[...]
===> Configuring for imake-6.8.1
[...]
===> Installing for imake-6.8.1
===> imake-6.8.1 depends on file: /usr/local/bin/perl5.8.5 - found
===> Generating temporary packing list
===> Checking if devel/imake-6 already installed
===> imake-6.8.1 is already installed
You may wish to ``make deinstall'' and install this port again
by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly.
If you really wish to overwrite the old port of devel/imake-6
without deleting it first, set the variable "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER"
in your environment or the "make install" command line.
