"port upgrade" is for upgrading ports and dependencies (ports that  
the port being upgraded depends on)
The "-R" flag is for upgrading dependents (ports that depend on the  
port being upgraded)
The "-u" flag tells MacPorts to uninstall the old version after  
installing the new version
The "-v" flag tells MacPorts to be verbose about what it's doing
