youtube-dl is a single file, a python script. The port for it has this one file in the plist and no dependencies other than using the python ports module. I'd suggest if the 4.7 version isn't working for you, you can safely manually replace the script with a newer one without involving the package system. In this simple case, I would think you could expect little harm to result if you later do a package upgrade and want to go back to letting the package system work for you. At worst if pkg_add or pkg_delete gives you a hard time about it (will they?) you can force the delete and manually remove the script then install the new version with pkg_add. This is what I'm doing, though I haven't upgraded over it yet.
