pkgng: How do I upgrade a single package?

Now that we have a repo, I want to start using binary packages for the
numerous dependencies I have to install on pretty much every system:
autotools, ca_root_nss, cmake-modules, gettext, glib, libtool, m4, etc.
But `pkg upgrade` only asks me to upgrade everything at once. This
absolutely won't work on any of my systems because I need non-default
options on a few ports and therefore must compile those. But I don't
want to compile everything from source. For example, of the 193 ports
installed my home server, I set non-default options on only 15 of them.
Everything else I can install as a binary package and save myself a
HUGE amount of time.
How do update individual ports from pkgng packages? Can I just install
the new version over top of the old one?
