Upgrading the Installed package

Since i am not using the ports , i have complied my product and have created
package using pkg_create on Machine B(build)and added it using pkg_add on
machine A .
so after these steps i have my 1.0 installed on Machine A.

Now i have made some changes in my product and created a package on Machine
B using pkg_create, and it is my 1.1 version.

I want to install this(1.1) version on machine A(which is having 1.0 already
installed) .

 one way is to remove 1.0 and install 1.1 on machine A, but i cannot afford
to do so. IS there any way to upgrade it to 1.1 without uninstalling?
pkg_update command is not present.

 I hope i am clear with what i want.

Help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Navneet
