Building and installing a port creates a package and installs that package with pkg_add. So if you're dealing with ports, you're also dealing with packages. Everything installed from the ports tree is under control of the pkg_* tools. > > If you need a browser now, I'd very strongly recommend this: > > > > PKG_PATH=ftp://some.mirror/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/packages/`arch -s`/ \ > > pkg_add -i seamonkey > > Maybe I'm working on an incorrect assumption, from my FreeBSD > experience.

Indeed, it's so important that we care more about problems with package updates (pkg_add -ui ...) than about problems with updates out of the ports tree (cd /usr/ports/foo/bar && make update).
