What about extending "make" so that it is possible to do the following:

  $ cd /usr/ports/foo/bar
  $ make update

"make" would then automatically deal with updating dependencies for that
specific port, remove the old version and build the new one.

I know this thread is mostly about updating all your ports at once, but
this seems to be a good start. Using "make" in such a way ties in nicely
with the current use of the ports system in my opinion.
