I'm not sure that is true for portsnap under all conditions. From
the portsnap man page:
extract Extract a ports tree, replacing existing files and
directories. NOTE: This will remove anything occupying
the location where files or directories are being
extracted; in particular, any changes made locally to
ports tree (for example, adding new patches) will be
silently obliterated.
The conventional tool, portupgrade, uses /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf
to HOLD a package (not upgrade). The pkgtools.conf.sample file is
well annotated and has many other available options.
Take a look at that and see if it will do the job.
HTH,
Randy
