Could you force a rebuild?

port -f upgrade installed


Or list all your installed ports, uninstall ports them and then  
reinstall the ports.

I don't know what Jerry has installed but moving /opt/local aside  
would mean losing things like databases and conf files.

This MAY be a big deal to Jerry.
