one thing i do for my systems is if there is an update to a port i 
need/want to test before the official build cluster is done is run a 
"make package" in the port directory.  then i can install the updated 
code as a pkg for future upgrade convenience.  this works great for 
ports without many external dependencies at build-time, not so much when 
things like llvm need to be build ;)
