I asked that question when 4.1 was coming out. The typical response
what that there aren't many ports that care. Lsof was one because it
is really tight with system structures. I did a make clean, make, and
install of it. For the others I use a cvsup of ports-all and
"pkg_version -c" to tell me when I should update a port.
