This presumable not going to work. The site-effect is trying to build
stuff in the FreeBSD ports tree, order problems etc.

I don't know the source of portupgrade, but you could use "make describe"
and use everything before the first '|' as package name. If you can modify
portupgrade to do that, you still have to add describe to the list of targets
we don't want to print the override warning for.
