If you set up /etc/make.conf right, you can make that:
cd /usr/ports && make update

If you have any held ports, this will quietly (in the lines whirring past)
skip them, and you won't necessarily have a fixed pkgdb; pkgdb -Ff is
usually what I want.

Given how long your script will take to run, I'm not sure there's any reason
not to just: portupgrade -Ra
If for some reason you don't want to, you might want to at least:
portupgrade -C -R -c ... This will help keep the pkgdb in order for ports
that depend on other ports that they didn't used to depend on.
Just some thoughts.
