You can also use the -c flag with portupgrade if you actually want to configure the OPTIONS before anything is built.

I think it is a bit unnecessary to do this for most ports if you stay on top of things. If you let your ports go for a long time or are doing something like chasing a gettext shlib bump, then that would probably be the better option. I don't know why portupgrade has such a bad rap; when used correctly it is a very good ports management utility.
