This will attempt to build *everything* (some things may fail because
they can't be built with an old version installed, though this is less
likely to happen with -stable) and then attempt to update them.
This is almost certainly /not/ what you want.

/usr/ports/infrastructure/build/out-of-date can produce a list of
installed packages that need an update, in a format you can write to
a file and feed to "make SUBDIRLIST=<file> ..."
