I have had my share of problems with port upgrade outdated too although it's mostly limited to removing problematic packages and re-installing after upgrade is done. On my servers I use EzJail to slice server into smaller more manageable pieces so upgrades for me are much easier because I have less software and dependencies in each Jail and makes it a lot less painful.
