Thanks for pointing those things out about PortManager etc as it can be hard to pick up on those types of things until you properly understand & work out the differences between pkg managers.
I actually deliberatly typed in those commands hoping someone might point out anything noticable.
I actually would always start off using "portupgrade" for upgrading pkgs etc first & then when an error forced portupgrade to stop I would turn to one of the other pkg managers like "portmaster & portmanager" to see if they fix the error because they do things differently & alot of the times they saved the day , but this time neither fully got me through all the upgrades but did help .
BSD is the longest I have had any Desktop stay on my PC while constantly keeping my system up to date & I dont want to lose it so I will hopefully upgrade my Kernel properly when I do give it ago.
I actually thought BSD-unix would break the quickest of all the Linux-Unix distro's I have tried but has been nothing but the greatest Joy & success over the few years using Computers & Linux-Unix.
The other problem with one of the errors is it says
"avahi-libdns-0.6.22_1 /net/avahi-libdns marked IGNORE reason: conflicts with another installed port" But doesnt seem to explain whick pkg it conflicks with- & as I explained above-you cant always delete a pkg as it wont let you because of dependencies etc.
& Also
error: unrecognized command line option "-Wno-pointer-sign"
*** Error code 1
which is what originally I think caused me to think I needed to upgrade Kernel.
AnyWay
