Yes, it does The Right Thing if there a newly-introduced mismatch in a
port that has dependents.

   -R       also upgrade dependents (only for upgrading)

But I think that the OP was looking for a simpler way to upgrade
existing ports without using "force" or ideally with no flags at all
(well, maybe an optional -c).

using -fundR is 5 flags, and I usually add -c, so we're up to 6
arguments to do what many would expect to be the default operaion.
