The issue is 'cvsup', not portupgrade.  My point was that you
should not run 'cvsup' before trying to recompile ports.  That
is partially because the cvsup you *have* (which would be a
32-bTT version of cvsup) will not work until you recompile
it -- so of course you can't run it before recompiling your
ports....

Perhaps I need to come up with better wording for that section.

Also note that if you *do* recompile all of ezm3 and cvsup,
then you will have a 64-bTT version, and that will work okay.

As noted in the writeup, start out with

    portupgrade -Rr -f portupgrade ruby

and everything should work out okay.
