Sync ports tree
<verbatim>
csup ports-supfile
</verbatim>

Update INDEXes
<verbatim>
portsdb -Uu
pkgdb -u
</verbatim>

Get a list of out-of-date ports
<verbatim>
pkg_version -vl '<' | cut -d' ' -f1
</verbatim>

Pull dependency information for each out-of-date port (Children must be rebuilt/reinstalled as well)
<verbatim>
pkg_info -Rq
</verbatim>

Do this recursively, keeping track of the depth. Once you hit bottom on all the ports and their descendants, squash the depgraph, placing deeper dependencies later. I.e.:
<verbatim>
A
-B
-C
--D
E
-B
-D
=becomes=
A
E
B
C
D
==
</verbatim>

BASH script is at [CheckPorts.sh]

Once you have a list of ports to install, and their order, you can use a convenience function in sh to build a package
<verbatim>
makepkg() {
 make all deinstall install package clean
 mv -v *.tbz ~/packages/
}
</verbatim>
