I think portupgrade --recursive will do what you want.
It doesn't
The is one of the reasons I loved portmanager as opposed to
portupgrade. The only way I think you can get some semblance of the
same behavior in portupgrade is to use the f flag. 'portupgrade -fr
port'. However, that also forces a rebuild of the port whether it
requires it or not. Portmanager checked to make sure that the ports,
both dependencies and those ports that depended on the named port
were built consistently. You would probably have to use the R flag
also with portupgrade to get that action.
I really wish a real C programmer (I'm not) would update the program
to make the program compatible with the present state of FreeBSD.
Written in C, the program didn't require other languages to be
installed and ran far faster than any of its competition. It was also,
IMHO, far easier to configure. On more than one occasion it fixed
problems that the other two port management applications failed to
correct.

pkg_info -g could be used to detect port files that don't match their
checksum. That's not foolproof...
Then use portupgrade -rf or portmaster -r on that port.
