Alec,
Thanks, I searched the FreeBSD Handbook for "dependency" and didn't find any reference to "make search". I guess it is one of those things that once you know about it you don't have to look for it any more. Unfortunately a lot of the documentation I can review is written for those folks who already know the answers.
Thanks for the heads up on 'make search', even if I can't find a complete description of the command. I find that it is referenced in the manual, however.
I see that several of the packages that were installed aren't listed in the dependencies for portupgrade. Only the two ruby programs are listed.

Jay,
I have found the FreeBSD basics articles over at onlamp.com to be invaluable.
Linky: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/ct/15
The two articles "portupgrade" and "Ports Tricks" (currently about 13 articles down) are valuable enough to me that I printed them out!
I know it does sometimes seem that you need to know the answer before you know what to google for, but until someone invents a better way to search (e.g. somehow knowing the context of your search), it's worth trying a few different things in google.
