Work out what went wrong, fix it and then just run:
# portupgrade -af '<2004-01-15'
which does a forced update of all packages installed before the given
date. (Note: -R and -r are unnecessary with -a). Rinse,
repeat. Until all your ports are up to date.
Usually ports problems are either inability to download the required
distfiles or a temporary SNAFU by the port maintainer/committer. In
most cases it suffices to wait a few hours or days, re-cvsup the ports
tree and start the portupgrade job again.
Cheers,
Matthew
