If so, can I buy an upgrade at any AA ticket desk (as I'm flying in to LAX from PDX and will have more time there), or will it need to be LAX, or even the gate?

If you go to the kiosk, you may be offered a LFBU (load factor based upgrade). Other than that, you can always upgrade your fare to a first class fare without the change fee.

If you are booked in J, D or I, you can also buy some miles on AA and do a mileage upgrade.
