Please don't forget to try switching to portupgrade-devel in that case.
According to /usr/ports/UPDATING recommendations (20070519):

  # portupgrade -f -o ports-mgmt/portupgrade-devel portupgrade
  # ...
  (etc., do the rest in order to rebuild /var/db/ bits and to build or
  fetch the new INDEX.)

If dependencies bug ever really existed (I can't remember that anyone
confirmed that offering an example), it was related to non-devel
version.

Agree here, this is sometimes the only 100% sure method to know how the
binary in question was really built.
