Take a look at using "script" to log the output (man 1 script). It
is started before running the process you want to log:
script /path/to/logfile
Then the process (portupgrade in this case) is ran to completion.
Just type "exit" after it is finished to end the "script" logging.

Another way to determine which ports need updated that has not been
mentioned is:
portversion -vL=
Instead of looking at timestamps for the last install/update
it would probably be easier to just run "portupgrade -a" using
"script" to recreate a log. Doing this will provide you with logs
of any failures as well as a list of any failures. Its the
information in those logs that will be most helpful in resolving
problems and is also the information others would need to see if
you needed additional help.
HTH a bit,
