That sounds clever, but I've been trying to come up with a syntax that  
actually works.  What I think will work (once my current portmaster  
-aRf finishes -- don't ask) is:

pkg query -e '%o ~ */php5-*' '%o'|while read origin; do \
new_origin=`echo ${origin} | sed -e 's/php5-/php55-/'`
echo y | pkg -o ${origin}:${new_origin}; done

But I'm not completely sure.
