It's best to let portupgrade do it for you all at once and in order.Is portupgrade -af my best bet?That's what I use.
There are some ports that you probably need to -x such as cvsup-mirror. You could probably just glob 'cvsup*'. Upgrading cvsup-mirror required manual intervention and the process of checking ownership on my ncvs directory seemed like it added an hour to the upgrade :). I also had to redo texmf.cnf on all of my machines.
