There isn't a pkg_upgrade in the base system and I'm not aware of one in=20
ports either but I'm open to correction. There is a python script,=20
pkgupgrade, developed by Michel Talon which might meet the OP's needs=20
<http://www.lpthe.jussieu.fr/~talon/>. Alternatively the OP could use=20
either portmaster or portupgrade from ports, both of these can be=20
forced to use packages instead of building from source by using the -P=20
or -PP options.
