[have] efficient pkg upgrade > pkg install shell script oneliner [want...]

If "pkg install" could work like portmaster 

ignore ports depending upon something:
pkg install -X postgresql84-client (and all to reinstall that may depend on it)
which upgrade to a newer version
[also applies to qt4 here] 


this would improve a local shell script... v9 > v10 that is going through 
thousands of ports -- ABI change  -- rollover to same version.
In that it could run unattended in the background through, say,
500 at once instead of 25 at once... more effortlessly.


Otherwise, this beta-but-working seven-segment shell pipe needs slow 

| grep -v ipython |  

additions which slow it down and may change between, say,
v9 > v10 and
v10 > v11 etc...
