in thread FreeBSD Ports vs. CPAN
the better choice is to update all ports for a nice system, (and if you are concern about security just install portaudit),, but you can FORCE for only update what you want.
#portupgrade -f PORTNAME
but COOLIEST :D is to have a jail to build packages and then deploy to other machines
