Port updates are a lot nicer now we have poudriere and pkgng - I haven't had a "pkg upgrade" break anything in months, and that was prior to automatic shared library tracking and just needed a "pkg install -Rf lang/perl" to fix.
e.g. the latest entry in UPDATING is for any port depending on converters/libiconv. Using portmaster or portupgrade requires querying the package database for the list of depending ports, force-deleting libiconv and then force-rebuilding from the previously saved list. With pkgng it's a case of "pkg upgrade && pkg autoremove".
