If this is to be a "permanent" freeze, you could put it in to the
/usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf. Look for "HOLD_PKGS". It defines an
array of name globs that expand to the name of the held ports. For
example, I use Exim 3 and don't want to have it upgraded to 4, so my
HOLD_PKGS looks like this:
HOLD_PKGS = [
'bsdpan-*',
'exim*',
]
The bsdpan one seems to be there by default.
