I've been searching the handbook and can't seem to find what I'm
looking for regarding upgrading a port.  I know there is
portupgrade... which I'd like to avoid because I don't want to install
ruby as well.  

I do have cvsup installed, and can run cvsup to update my ports
collection.  My question is if I already have a package installed,
running cvsup, the make install again for a preexisting port will mess
up the pkg-data base right?  So, if I only want to upgrade a single
port, is the recommended way

1) pkg_deinstall
2) cvsup ports collection
3) pkg_install again (or make install)

This seems rather poor as I don't want to have all the downtime
between deinstalling and installing again.

If I cvsup ports and then make install, is there a fix to update the
pkg data base?
