Right, and I was hoping that portupgrade could specify what it's
going to upgrade if you do -a (heck any time you execute it),
BEFORE you do it, so you can see if there's something that you
may not want upgraded.

It's run when portupgrade builds ports or downloads packages. I
am not sure about the 'why' part, but presumably it's for keeping
logs of the build in case you want to look at it. In any case,
script is probably the wrong tool for this job, since according
to the script(1) manpage:
[...]
The results are meant to emulate a hardcopy terminal, not an
addressable one.
