I just wanted to get pros and cons for tracking the whole port tree
on a production server.
Any opinions?

Chris,
I will use a CVS tag to update a release for any officially reported
security issues. You can look up the right tags here:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvs-tags.html
However, with production boxes, I have either non-production boxes I
update first to test the release, or secondary production boxes I
update first.
I only update these systems if the security issue will effect the
use. For instance, if it is an issue with ipfw, but I am not using
that on a box, I don't bother to update it.
Hope this helps,

Are you using these tags for the ports or the base system + userland? I
love the way that I can track the security/bug fixes by tracking a
branch of the code for the src directory. It would be nice if ports
forked too.
