One further comment (re-reading your original post): If the pkgsrc tree, at the time of an attempted upgrade, is such that all packages individually build with up-to-date dependencies, then pkgmanager is semi-guaranteed do to the correct thing. Packages are always installed in the correct order (dependency wise), such that the final state of the system is equal to that which you would have gotten if you had started with the up-to-date pkgsrc tree, no packages installed, and simply done 'make install' in those packages you want.
