I am interested to know if there's a flag that will take all the default value for all the ports when doing a port upgrade

man portupgrade. You need BATCH=yes option (so called batch mode).
Portupgrade to all ports always a very bad idea!!!. It might work if you system is not too old. It is always far easier to do fresh installation unless you have production machine. If the machine is in production you will normally do portupgrade only if it is necessary for security reasons. You have to read latest portupgrade README to see if there are special instructions for the ports you want to upgrade. Probably yes if it is due for security reasons.
