That may explain it. Many different installed ports could depend on
xrender either directly or indirectly, and upgrading a port upgrades its
dependencies too (recursively). So when it failed for one dependency
relationship, it moved on to the next and tried again.

This is one reason that `sudo port upgrade outdated` is preferred.

Add the -d option, e.g. `sudo port -d upgrade outdated`.
