Mostly, yes. Any dependency issues are problems that need to be fixed
in pkgsrc anyway and are independent of the chosen upgrade tool.

Could you please example this? What kind of "dependency issues"?

Package renames are another cause of potential problems.

Last version of nih solves problems caused by package splits (A -> A1+A2) and joins (A1+A2->A) with a help of "fake" package used during installation time.
