not really.
i suggest you upgrade each port individually, in the correct order.
if you get a message that a port cannot be uninstalled because
another port depends on it, then force the upgrade
sudo port -nf upgrade foo
the "n" tells macports not to follow dependencies, else it would also
force the rebuild of all the dependencies, even if they were not
outdated and did not need to be upgraded.
