I don't have time just now to answer the other questions but I can answer
this one.

Portaudit tells me that port xyz is vulnerable.  But there there is no
fix.  How do I know when there is a fix?  Only by checking FreshPorts, cvs
logs, the ports tree, trying to install the port, portupgrade, etc.  I
could do this daily for days without a fix.

Instead, if portaudit reported that port xyz is vulernable and that there
is a fix (if there actually is a fix), then all I need to do is monitor my
daily security email that automagically includes the output of portaudit.
I can then instantly know that it's time to run portupgrade on port xyz.
