AFAICT, the +IGNOREME file should be in the package directory, not the
port directory.  For example,

cd /var/db/pkg/perl-5.8.4/
touch +IGNOREME

The -f option to portupgrade overrides held packages and reinstalls them
anyway.  Another possibility that may be useful to you is the -x option
to portupgrade to exclude certain ports from this run only.  i.e.

portupgrade -Raf -x perl

Multiple -x options can be specified if you have a long list of ports
that you don't want to reinstall.

Hope this helps,
Craig
