... and see portupgrade(1) (man page) for more advanced use of
packages, especially -P/-PP command line arguments and EXAMPLES
section.
In a word, if you have a heap of downloaded packages, setting PKG_PATH
and PKG_FETCH variables (in env or /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf)
and using -PP will do a massive package-install/update:
# setenv PKG_PATH .../.../...
# setenv PKG_FETCH /bin/false
# portupgrade -N -PP ...
or
# portupgrade -a -PP
