Porteasy (ports/misc/porteasy) already knows how to: 1) update ports/INDEX 2) make do without it if it already knows the "true" name of the port 3) update individual ports and their dependencies recursively 3) obtain the full name and version of ports from their Makefiles and already has an option for listing installed ports (and marking those that don't match anything in INDEX). It could quite trivially be updated to perform pkg_version's duties as well, without relying on an out-of-date INDEX.
