What's wrong with ports?

1. I cannot use apt-get update and update all my software with a
single command.
You can. There are numerous tools, even in ports which will check if
your installed packages are up to date. If they are not, they will be
upgraded from ports.
2. I need to keep track of changed packages manually. Granted, there a
solutions to this on FreeBSD, but they do not seem to do this as
effectivly and fast as Debian/Fink.
I cannot comment on this, even though I am a long time FreeBSD user and
now use Fink as well I never had a way to compare this.
3. When installing a new version of a program using ports, the old
package does not get removed automatically.
check your make.conf settings. you can teach the package manager to
autoclean and autoprune old packages.
4. I can't access up-to-date binaries.
The binaries in Fink aren`t that up to date either...
Greetings,

My humble opinion of course.
