No. Don't do this. The manual page even says so. The output from "pkg_version -c" needs editing before it can be used. For starters, it's generated in alphabetical order by port name, rather than in any order that has anything to do with the actual dependencies. Also, it's been known on at least one occasion to blow away ports upgrade kits in such a way as to render a system unusable. One more time: Don't blindly run the output of "pkg_version -c".
