BTW portmanager was excellent the for the first few years.  One could begin an 
update, then cntl-c after a few minutes when it actually began building ports, 
and up in the terminal would be a concise list of what needed to be installed 
or upgraded.  Later, its results were inaccurate (did not find installed 
ports...). It would serve many well if someone were to rewrite if for the 
present ports structure IMHO.  (That was for just one of its usages that I used 
a lot, the others I was still using portupgrade or a custom .sh script, for 
those fifty percent or so
of the time in which I did not simply permit portmanager to complete the task.)
