Just to throw my 2 cents in, I started using porteasy on my servers in 
2004 and liked it so much I switched all my desktops over from full ports 
tree to bare bones minimal. And I'm a cvsup/portupgrade junkie who 
needs her daily fix :-)

As for packages/ports? My routine is this:

porteasy -u some/path
grep WITH some/path/Makefile

If there aren't any WITH | WITHOUTs that I feel compelled to compile in, 
"pkg_add -r" it is.

I just noticed a new port which looks interesting enough to put on my 
"gotta try this if I ever get a spare moment" list:

sysutils/pkg-orphan

Cheers,
