I'm aware of at least one problem with portupgrade. Since it depends on
make index and make index currently *ignores* all override packages, you
have a big problem for both, XFree86 and X.org. The problem is the way
/usr/ports/Tools/make_index works, it drops everything not beginning with
/usr/ports in the package description.
If you or someone else has a bit of perl-fu left, please have a look
at it.
