I'm sure it can check versions in several ways, why would it > not be able to detect the version of libxml2? If the shared lib number changed, it would be detected. However, when the port revs, there's no current built-in scheme to detect this. sobnomax@ was working on something to do that, but I'm not sure what the status is. portupgrade is a good tool for this. It also comes with a portinstall tool that lets you install new ports, and handles dependencies.
