    I get numerous errors while trying to, "portsdb -Uu", 'portversion -l "<",
    and "portupgrade -arR". I don't get any kind of prompt to change anything.
    How would I go about fixing these errors so that I can upgrade my ports to the latest
    version(s)?? Here's a snippet from the PORTUPGRADE I did, but it stopped
    after coming up in error....

    Stop in /usr/ports/x11-servers/XFree86-4-FontServer.
    ** Command failed [exit code 1]: /usr/bin/script -qa
    /tmp/portupgrade72647.10 make
    ** Fix the problem and try again.
    ---> Skipping 'x11/XFree86-4' (XFree86-4.3.0,1) because
    'x11-servers/XFree86-4-FontServer' (XFree86-FontServer-4.3.0) failed
    ** The following packages were not installed or upgraded (*:skipped /
    !:failed)
            ! dns/noip (noip-1.6) (port directory error)
            ! www/mod_php5 (mod_php5-5.0.0.a3_2,1) (configure error)
            ! x11/XFree86-4-clients (XFree86-clients-4.3.0_1) (install
