Errr, isn't this pretty much what Colin Percival's security/freebsd-update port already does? :)
FreeBSD Update doesn't handle the ports tree. That said, as long as one wishes to track the release branch of base, there's no reason not to use FreeBSD Update + portupgrade.
This wasn't an option for the original poster (imp@) because he wanted to track -stable.
