invoking port

So what is the correct, fail-safe, guaranteed to work syntax to  
upgrade a port? I keeping thinking that passing the "u" argument  
would do it but not so much. port upgrade <some port> fails, if there  
are dependencies, regardless of the presence of the "u." I have to  
use "f" and it doesn't seem right that I should have to force  
something that is supposed to be possible without it.

the last message I saw on this suggested using -ufn. this unpacks as  
"upgrade" "force" "no dependencies." Why isn't just "u" sufficient?
