Just fine.  The author even added the -l option at my request so you can
still use portsnap's INDEX updating stuff.  You just need to collect
the results of "make describe" in your local ports and pass the file
containing it as the argument to -l when updating.  I'm using it at work
with a wrapper script that updates my local ports via subversion and
updates official ports via portsnap on one go.
