It depends on what you want to update.
'portupgrade -R name' updates name plus anything name depends on.
'portupgrade -rR name' updates name plus anything name depends on, plus
anything that depends on name.
In all cases, only ports that have updates available are updated, so if
everything in the dependency chain is already up to date, the command
(either variant) may do nothing.
Cheers,
Matthew
