If you're trying to use a current ports tree on a -stable system,
you can't expect any help from anyone. Saem for testing/trying diffs
sent to this mailinglist. It's annoying, but we can't avoid it. If
we start to keep the ports tree working on -stable (or even older
releases), there will be no more improvements to bsd.port.mk nor
to pkg_add & friends.

/usr/ports/infrastructure/build/out-of-date creates output suitable
to be used for SUBDIRLIST (see ports(7)).
But note that out-of-date also needs to be in sync with the pkg_tools
in base.
