Implicit in here is the assumption that you're always upgrading all of

If you saw a new version of libpng and decided you wanted to upgrade
it (for all of the exciting new features a graphics library can
offer?)
but not all your other ports, `port upgrade libpng` would happily let
you do that and leave most of your system broken.
Is this how port currently works?
If "outdated" is a "pseudo-portname" then wouldn't it more or less
expanded to "port upgrade [port1 port 2 port3 etc...]"?
I would think there would not be any difference in the way "port
upgrade" follows the dependency tree when upgrading a single port vs
outdated.
Does one need the -R "port -R upgrade" to build dependents?
