I'm confused - what is sort of the consensus pick for "best" port
tool? Usually, I just cd /usr/ports/xxxx/yyyy and do a 'make install clean',
but I've also tried portmanager and portupgrade, but I'm not sure when to
prefer one to another. Should I stick with one? Will mixing & matching
confuse things? portupgrade seems to take a lot longer than portmanager.
And where does the pkgdb command fit in?

UNIX is user-friendly. It's just a bit picky about who its friends are.
