I am not sure you would want to do that, as if it were to overlap with a normal portupgrade the results may be interesting. The machine's day to day running depends not at all on the pkgdb. I would suggest that if you sense that you need to keep atop these things you run pkgdb -L about as often as you run portupgrade -fr <something>. If you do not have to recursively rebuild (say for leaf packages) pkgdb -L is redundant at best. -- --
