Completely automatic update of installed ports is acutally difficult
because we cannot get to know the language or required toolkit from
the name of a binary. (eg emulator/wine and japanese/wine, timidity++-xaw
and timidity++-tcltk) We can still detect and enumerate the ports that
possibly installed old binaries, and decide which of the ports listed
up to update.
http://people.FreeBSD.org/~tanimura/tools/oldports
is a shell script to scan the binaries installed by ports and to list
up the name of the ports that installed binaries using libc.so.3 or
earlier.
