The problem with that though is let's say that it spits out this (pseudo
speaking):

update portA
update portB
update portC

And let's say that portA depends on portB which depends on port C.  Well,
when I run that code to update portA it's going to automatically update
portB which will update portC which means the rest of the above script is
pointless -- and it won't remove the currently installed old versions of
portB and portC.

Although now that I think about it, I could change the "make install" to
"make reinstall" in the output of pkg_version -c and that would do it.

Maybe I"ll just not worry about two versions of the same port being
installed :)
