You can try it and see but make sure you're following /usr/ports/UPDATING. In those massive upgrade situations, I've found it to be much easier to use portmaster and the method outlined in it's man page. No need for UPDATING then and no funky or crazy behavior from updating. It can be quicker doing it the way you are, but for me that's only been the case on system that have relatively few ports installed <150~. I'll use the portmaster method even when just updating ports system sometimes if a lower level lib has been updated(eg libjpeg). You can also modify the method and build stuff in a jail/VM and install on main host when ready. -- Adam Vande More
