That's what I was suggesting a couple email ago, using a svn checkout
as local (file://) ports tree will get it updated via svn on a "sync"
action.
>From man page:
"If any of the ports tree(s) uses a file: URL that points to a local
subversion working copy, sync will perform an svn update on the
working copy with the user set to the owner of the working copy"

A "selfupdate" action will update port command itself and then run a
"sync" action.

I'm not sure how well it has ever worked (I never built it myself),
maybe the "once upon a time" was one or two major system versions ago.
Again it's just up to personal taste.
