Thanks, I've read about both these facilities, and in fact I have them installed. However, none of the documentation I've found makes what they really do understandable, and especially not how to recover if there's a problem during upgrading... which I've had in the past.
I only *minimally* use ports, specifically because of problems upgrading. I only use ports for minor things. That said, I don' fear upgrading "/usr/ports", I just do any actual port upgrades cautiously.
Not to rant, but you are actually missing out on the (probably) greatest advantages of using a FreeBSD powered server. I am shivering when I think about apt/spm/rpm/yum.
