Likely they do; Mozilla, Seamonkey, Opera, and Firefox. (all flagged in my

Yeah, running SMP, so cpu is not a problem. But bumping into deps may very
well be. I have synched-up my ports tree, and have also done portupgrade -Fa
so all the sources, as well as any deps are already here. However, I fear
several packages may need the same dep, and all try to upgrade it at the same
time.... would make a mess!

I don't think portupgrade is smart enough to detect multiple upgrades, at
least I have not seen any reference in the docs.

Thanks! guess I will just so one a night, some of these are pretty BIG.

You could look over the dependencies and figure out the conflicts by
hand. One way to do that would be to use "portupgrade -n" on the
different major packages, and compare the results. Or maybe
sysutils/gpkgdep would be easier for you to figure out the overlaps
from...
