It looks like you might have misunderstood something I said about pkgsrc.
I use pkg with FreeBSD ports on FreeBSD, but my interest in pkgsrc and
pkgsrc-synth is for NetBSD.
Working with pkgsrc on NetBSD convinces me that they need to import portupgrade
and/or portmaster from FreeBSD, maybe synth will be better?
Pkgsrc is awkward dealing with packages whose names have changes or branched.
Ports LTS branches, is that Long Term Service? I don't really understand that
question.
