This would be the second time i've asked this question, soo.. :)

What is the best way to update a port? pkg_delete -f then reinstall?
Or force it to overwrite what was already there? The problem with the
former is that then when I uninstall/ other/ ports, they complain about
dependency files that have since been obliterated. Not sure if the
second one has any problems, havn't tried it if memory serves :)

For instance, XFree86 4.0.1 just popped up with a fix to the mouse
bug that has been irritating me.  What is the best procedure I shuold
take to update it?

Thanks,
--Stephen
