Essentially yes. However, you should 'pkg_delete -f' the old version of pkg-B first, and then pkg_add the new one. (Mostly because the different versions of pkg-B will have a large number of files in common, and pkg_delete will delete them even if they really belong to the newer version.) You'll still find that pkg-A says it depends on the older version of pkg-B -- you can either ignore this, as it has no effect on the functionality of pkg-A, or you can delete and re-install pkg-A after you do pkg-B, or you can go into /var/db/pkg/pkg-A/ and edit the +REQUIRED_BY file to correct the version numbers. Or you can install portupgrade, in which case all you need to do is copy the pkg-B-1.2.tgz file to /usr/ports/packages/All and then run the command: # portupgrade -f -P pkg-B and all of the necessary deleting and re-installing and fiddling with the /var/db/pkg/ files will be done for you.
