I also find it horribly annoying.  I keep my perl modules up to date  
via cpan, since there are so many modules there that I use that are  
not part of the ports tree, and I just don't have the cycles to  
create a port for every one I need (which is why BSDPAN came about in  
the first place....)

I would love to see something that would synthesize the origin just  
to keep portupgrade quite about it.
