I'll be reading through this in depth this afternoon.  My use-case is
pretty straightforward in that I have packages installed from
pkgsrc2006Q3 (really just bash and the gnome & kde meta-pkgs).  I want
to replace '2006Q3' with 'current' and then update gnome, kde, and bash.

This should be a good exercise as there are numerous packages and
associated dependencies that comprise these 2 meta-pkgs.  So I don't
know if it will be as simple as updating the meta-pkgs (sadly I doubt
it) or if each package will need to be individually updated in a
particular order.

Hmmmmm...
