Let me see chime in here, because I've been wondering about this as well.
What I expect the tool to do if I invoke it like
$ sudo pkg_add -u
is to do this (from pkg_add(1)):
If no pkgname is given, pkg_add will update all installed packages.
What actually happens after the above invocation is what Sebastian
pointed out - updatable package names are printed, but nothing is
actually updated.
