I have a patch at home - this isn't currently available.

(hint - this makes "portupgrade -aPP" with your package path set to some
place you generated or downloaded tons of packages at work/university
much easier at home.  Otherwise pkg_add decides it needs to update the
exact package version that happens to be sitting next to your package,
causing an utter disaster...)
