Sorry in advance as I haven't ever done patched for FreeBSD before So I'm
probably doing it wrong.  Anyway, here it goes:

This is a minor patch for portupgrade that adds the USE_PORTS user
variable.  Simply put any packages in this list will always update from
source regardless of -P/-PP  settings.  The problem with portupgrade was
that it would overwrite ports compiled with local configuration changes with
the default binary version.  (apache, php, virtualbox-ose-kmod) and so those
would have to me individually updated without -P.  Now the user can
configure witch packages should always come from source and then use
packages for the rest.
