Not exactly "automatic", but try:
         pkg_version -c > need.to.update

Then manually edit 'need.to.update' (or whatever you called your 
file).  Edit it by putting a ``!/bin/sh'' as the first line, and then go 
through and remove or correct any additions that you don't want - example, 
when I run it it offers up that I should upgrade to XFree4.0, which I don't 
want to do, so I remove those lines.

Also, on every line that shows ``make install'' I usually add on ``&& make 
clean'' after that to make sure the work directories get cleaned out.

Do all that, make the file executable, run it, and come back once in a 
while to stir or add water as needed.  Some updates will require manual 
intervention or questions answered, but it sure beats having to create a 
script yourself =)

Hope that helps,
John
