Maybe the guide helps? http://guide.macports.org/#internals.images

So, if you want to upgrade everything, `port upgrade outdated` would probably work for you.

If you have a bunch of modules that you installed yourself (not with macports) then you'll have to deal with them yourself as well.

Since Catalyst uses tons and tons of modules, you might find it 'easier' to use perlbrew (and/or local::lib) to manage the perl install you are using for Catalyst outside of macports.
