I should also install portupgrade if I were you, it make managing ports a lot 
easier. 

It also has the -P  and -PP options  (and corresponding per port settings 
in  /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf) which are useful for combining ports and 
packages. For example a full KDE upgrade from ports takes me 3 days, but by 
allowing portupgrade to install some of the less-important kde components 
from fully up-to-date packages, I cut that down to one day.
