What do you suggest it do when port "foo" depends on "bar" and port "baz" also depends on "bar". When you "make update" inside "foo", it would attempt to remove/update "bar", but it can't because "baz" is depending on it to be there. You sort of have to update globally, unless you can guarantee that a swapout of a base package won't break all things that depend on it.
