I don't need/use a local repo because my macports/sources.conf points to a svn
checkout. If/when I see problems with ports I'm using I can fix them there and
generate diffs to attach to tickets. A 'svn update' of that directory won't
kill my local changes, either.
A local repo is good for testing a whole bunch of new ports, or for having
something you want to be able to distribute within an organization that you
don't want to contribute back to Macports (say a set of internal-use
applications). It's still a pretty worthwhile feature.

port only upgrades what you ask it to.
What you wanted was a way to say upgrade everything except for openssl (or a
more magic version, upgrade everything that won't break the stuff I care about).
