I update mine regularly, pretty much as they come out. On occassion you will find that bugs are found with updates and that a new version will be bumped a day or so later, but someone has to find the bugs! I use portmaster on some machines, portupgrade on most. Doug Barton recently added extra logging to portmaster which now enables audit tracing so you can log what was updated when, portupgrade has a switch to log to a file but there's not as much detail and no datestamps.
