How would I keep from upgrading EVERYTHING when I track the whole tree.  
I just fixed a FreeBSD equivalent of DLL hell when I synced the tree.  I 
now understand portupgrade -r so I can probably avoid that nasty 
expireience again.

This is a production server, and I don't want to hose it up.

Thanks for the Help
