I've not used portinstall enough to know how well it handles dependencies. One of my clients has their stuff hosted on FreeBSD machines, so that is my only exposure to the ports. I wind up not using them much because they don't keep very current stuff there. They have Perl v5.6.0 and SpamAssassin v2.44. Ugh.
You may want to cvsup your ports tree... The latest version of perl in the tree is 5.8.4. Which I believe is only one minor revision away from the latest release which is 5.8.5. And SA is at 2.63 which is the current release of SA. IME, while the ports tree may not be as quick to update, it is still fairly current, and it makes everything nice and clean.
