Here is a command line log of MacPorts.

% port outdated
The following installed ports are outdated:
mpfr                           2.4.1-p2_0 < 2.4.1-p4_0
% sudo port selfupdate
Password:

MacPorts base version 1.700 installed
Downloaded MacPorts base version 1.700

The MacPorts installation is not outdated so it was not updated
% sudo port sync

(Launch Porticus and do the menu item  selfupdate, which
shows only bash and graphviz are outdated. )

% port outdated
The following installed ports are outdated:
bash                           4.0.0_0 < 4.0.10_0
graphviz                       2.22.0_0 < 2.22.1_0
mpfr                           2.4.1-p2_0 < 2.4.1-p4_0
%

It seems that this log still suggests that 'port outdated' command
works correct only after Porticus selfupdate menu being done,
as I suspect.

You need to do "sudo port -d selfupdate" before
port outdated not after.

You see "selfupdate" is what causes your own port file index to get updated. Port didnt know about bash and graphviz because your index was not "up-to-date" when up gave the "port outdated" command. All porticus did was give port the same selfupdate command you could have given on the command line before you gave the port outdated command.
