I believe that there are changes recorded in /var/db/pkg for installations made using PREFIX=, but I've never gone so far as to determine if portupgrade will upgrade them independently. I expect one installation would overwrite the next ... You might try the --beforebuild and --afterinstall knobs of portupgrade to alter the PORTNAME switch on the port Makefile. This would ensure that entries in /var/db/pkg/ are not overwritten, but I don't know if you could automate that on a per-port basis. Let us know what you find out, and Good Luck! lane
