I have a system that I have removed all teh non English language port directories, and I run a cvsup _with_ a refuse file for these. Then I did a portdb -Uu. This resulted in a fair number of complaints, but when I ran portupgrade -aRr it hapilly took of running. Granted this sytem only has 19 ports installed. But it seems to work.
