Using -d (debug) outputs more verbosely than just -v (verbose) which is more than nothing at all which is more than -q (quiet). You can rerun `sudo port -d rev-upgrade` to see more output.

If the missing files are coming from port's database, then you should be able to ask what installed the file:
port provides /opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.12.3/darwin-multi-2level/auto/Net/Libproxy/Libproxy.dylib
