| It seems pkg_update is only usable when installing from packages, not from
| ports.

Because it is a package update system.  If you want to update
from the ports, use 'pkg_version -c |sh'

| Even when I first do a make package, and then try a pkg_update it appears
| it does not work correctly, as it wants to uninstall the latest version
| before it reinstalls it.
| 
| Could pkg_update be a target in bsd.port.mk?

No, use the above.
