But, to continue the example, if any of the other outdated ports depend on 
kdenetwork4, MacPorts will still try to upgrade kdenetwork4.

Personally I just run "port outdated" and then individually upgrade the 
specific ports I want to upgrade. If it starts building something I didn't want 
it to build, I cancel it. (For example, I'm not ready to upgrade to Subversion 
1.7 yet, so if, when upgrading some other port, it starts trying to upgrade 
subversion, I cancel it.)
