I'm trying to update something (actually install KDE4), and In need to

have port found in 'foo/abc' (abc-12345) and want to replace it with
'var/xyz'. I know there are several ways to do this (one involving
entries in a file in etc?), but I cannot come up with the proper terms
to find what I'm looking for in a search?
Can anyone tell me a few terms that might help with this one? I've
tried compbinations of port, upgrade, search and different,
but that (unsurprisingly) isn't getting anywhere.
portupgrade --origin maybe?
From man portupgrade:
Replace ghostscript-gnu with ghostscript-afpl:
portupgrade -o print/ghostscript-afpl ghostscript-gnu
-o / --origin was originally the option to supply a missing origin of an
outdated package before FreeBSD 4.2, but this example shows another
useful usage. Use portupgrade like this, and all the depen-
dencies on the old package (ghostscript-gnu) will be succeeded to the
new one (ghostscript-afpl) cleanly, without leaving inconsistency.
