Thanks, I settled on
portmaster a while back but maybe I'll have to revisit that decision in light of
portupgrade's --use-packages functionality.
Update: It looks like
portmaster has similar switches, derp.
-P|--packages use packages, but build port if not available
-PP|--packages-only fail if no package is available
--packages-build use packages for all build dependencies
--packages-if-newer use package if newer than installed even
if the package is not the latest according to the ports tree
--always-fetch fetch package even if it already exists locally
--local-packagedir=<path> where local packages can be found,
will fall back to fetching if no local version exists
--packages-local use packages from --local-packagedir only
--delete-packages after installing from a package, delete it
Update #2:
portmaster doesn't support pkgng yet, bah.
portmaster -P www/nginx
===>>> Package installation support cannot be used with pkgng yet,
it will be disabled
