Ie. I currently use cvsup to keep my ports collection up to date. When a port is updated I use pkg_delete portname to remove the package. If it complains of depenancies I delete them as well. Then I run make install to upgrade the port I initally wanted to update. Finally I run make install on all the ports I had to remove because of dependancies. Is there an easier way? I've found pkg_remove aids in removal but is there something where I can say type: make sometarget which will uninstall all broken depenancies, upgrade the current package then reinstall the other?
