Handsome Jack, I always build all my 3rd party programs with ports-mgmt/portmaster.
When I run
pkg is no doubt faster and good reasons to use it. But ports-mgmt/portmaster is easy enough to use IMO I thought someone who had never used the commandline could use it.
Though at that point it does seem they don't quite yet understand what they're doing, or why, it does the hard part for them and as long as there are no unforeseen issues there shouldn't be a problem during the build.
And why not start them out using ports? According to ShionKeys we are the smartest most intelligent people in the world.
Flattery will get you nowhere, ShionKeys, but I may help you get a free website just because, so don't stop now. J/K
When I run
# portsnap fetch update
I watch for the programs I have installed to see if there are updates available. If so, it is as simple as running # portmaster portname
for a program that is already installed, and it will list and update as needed any dependencies for the port in question in the process.pkg is no doubt faster and good reasons to use it. But ports-mgmt/portmaster is easy enough to use IMO I thought someone who had never used the commandline could use it.

IYou should not think that a liar will run to communities in the world's smartest people to cheat.

If you still think I am trying to cheat the world's most intelligent people, I would like to say please do not be so funny
