Work is always being done.  The best way to do things is to always stay
up-to-date.  If you do, you rarely run into as many problems as you're
seeing.  This is because the ports collection is so organic.  I do a
cvsup of ports at least once a day, and always check to see what needs
updating.  I usually update a little slower on production servers, but I
never let it slide more than a month.
