If you're installing stuff on production servers, you probably want to
build a package on a trusted system, then ship the package out to the
production servers and use pkg_add/pkg_delete. Building ports on
individual machines generally doesn't scale, and adding portupgrade to
that mix is destined to complicate things rather dramatically.

Hope this helps,

Doug
