Last I knew, if port X uses services provided by port Y and port Y changes, port X often needs to be rebuilt and reinstalled even though nothing in port X has changed. AFAIK this has nothing to do with backups. If you've found a way to avoid ever having to rebuild, say, kdiff3 when something changes in KDE, I'm sure the authors of portupgrade and portmaster would like to hear about it! It would greatly simplify their job.
