Why? If it works very fine, if it will be used as I described.
It is very handy and nice feature.
 
Using SVN (or svnlite(1)) has the nice property that you're able to generate, apply, and revert diffs for ports very easily.

svn diff x11/xterm > /path/to/xterm.diff to generate a diff, svn patch /path/to/xterm.diff to apply one, svn revert -R x11/xterm to revert changes.
 
Anyway, IMHO portsnap is very usable, in case as I described,
if you messed up with port files, it will delete all "extra" and restore all original files.
 
You're not supposed to 'update' a single port in the ports tree unless you know what you are doing. If you know what you are doing you'll be using SVN instead of portsnap(8) anyway.
 
I do not need to update it, when I'm using # portsnap extract your/port/,
I use it only to restore original port. When I need to update ports tree, I use # portsnap fetch update.
Or also it possible to use net/svnup ( # svnup ports) to update ports tree, or # svnup release to update /usr/src of your FreeBSD RELEASE, check /usr/local/etc/svnup.conf.
 
svnup(1) is basically a simple wrapper around SVN making it slightly easier to use. It's was intended as a replacement for csup(1), an old tool which used CVS (the old versioning system used by FreeBSD). It was added so you didn't have to install a port (devel/subversion) to update the source and/or ports tree. But we nowadays have svnlite(1) in the base so it has become largely superfluous.
