There are a lot more problems occuring than expected.

print/cups, for instance, rejects on all systems I try to update
(three!) to compile and cups is a stopper for many other ports relying
on cups.

Using portmaster, I'm higly adviced to use option -f, otherwise every
second port I try to update gets interrupted due to missing
libiconv.so.3. It is impossible to update a system unattended and this
is a mess with 200 or even 680 ports to be updated. A waste of time.

Some ports still rely on methusalem gcc 4.6. But gcc 4.6.3 relies on
some gnuish tools in the port and the compilation fails if those
prerequisits aren't updated first. The description I found
in /usr/ports/UPDATING is quick and dirty - too dirty for being
useful, in my opinion. Did the maintainer ever tried this command
sequence on a "used" machine and not in a clean vbox environment?

There must be a description of a fallback in UPDATING! I took the
whole day to update on one machine less than the half of the installed
ports and huge ports like libreoffice are still dropping out of the
build and I restart after fixed the missing port that relies on being
recompiled. I hope that reinstalling converters/libiconv will give me
X11 back on my boxes! I can not stay with them 48 hours non stop until
they have completed the messy update.
