If the dependency isn't there when the database is being built, portdb
will complain (makes sense; you can't build that port without its
dependencies, after all).  It does, however, continue.  So it makes
sense that you would get a massive number of such complaints if you
downloaded only a few categories of ports.

If it's just the messages that are bothering you, redirect them to
/dev/null when you build the portupgrade db.
