Upgrading ports doesn't result in new version being active

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

On the Tiger machine I updated to the tip of the 1.9 branch (@68698, to overcome #25194), ports I upgrade don't activate properly:

$ port outdated
The following installed ports are outdated:
c-ares                         1.7.1_0 < 1.7.3_0         
cfitsio                        3.240_0 < 3.250_0         
xlsfonts                       1.0.2_1 < 1.0.3_1         
$ sudo port -u upgrade xlsfonts c-ares cfitsio
