Sorry to ask the obvious, but does portmaster state that there are
updates available for these ports? If the version you've installed from
the package repository is the same or newer than that in the ports tree,
then of course running `portmaster -a` won't do anything. If portmaster
says updates are available but they're not building, then there should
be accompanying error messages.
