"port upgrade" never uninstalls an unrelated port. If you use the "- 
u" flag it will uninstall older versions of the ports it upgrades.

So the output would actually be:

The following ports would be upgraded:
	libxxx at 0.9.3_0 => libxxx at 0.9.4_0
	openssl at 1.0.0beta1_0 => openssl at 0.9.8k_0
The following ports would be installed
	libyyy at 0.5_0

(assuming, hypothetically, that libyyy is a new dependency that was  
added in version 0.9.4 of the libxxx port)
