how often do you update ports?

You won't have the INDEX file that way, though. Just the ports INDEX and that lists all packages, instead of the ones that are available as packages.

pkg_upgrade is designed to work without a ports tree. Hence it relies on the INDEX file to provide all information about packages and their dependencies.

True.. But I upgrade by way of pkg_delete /var/db/pkg/* and then installing all the packages I need (which are build/stored on my server). It usually only takes a few minutes and I'm pretty sure I don't run into a dependency hell :e
