As far as I know, the way to keep up to date with ports is to follow
the procedure:

  portaudit -Fad
  if no_problems then quit
  else 
    cd /usr/ports
    make update
    portupgrade port1 port2 port3 (...)

If you want to do that automatically, put my script (or a similar one)
into cron but that way lies pain.  You've been warned.
