So what I would really like is to make one machine the build/test machine
and keep this machine up to date with the ports and portmanager or so.
Can I then set up some kind of repo with the packages from this machine
and run something like "yum upgrade" on every desktop we have ?
1. Use one machine as the build/ test machine. Let /usr/ports be on that,
and shared to all the other machines.
2. Keep the ports tree up-to-date on this machine, and while building ports
make packages too. (`make package-recursive` will do I guess). These will
be stored on /usr/ports/packages.
3. On the clients, let /usr/ports be the shared one from the main machine.
a) If you want to find the packages that need updating, use
something like `pkg_version -l "<"`.
b) If you want to update *all* the packages, use something like
`portupgrade -aPP`.
I haven't done any of these myself. Just that if I were in a situation such
as yours, this is what I'd probably do.

rsync or some other means of sharing data may be better than a global share
as you might have one machine with a different architecture building under a
work directory in the /usr/ports directory.
Or set "WRKDIRPREFIX= /tmp" in your /etc/make.conf on all machines ... ?
