running `sysmerge -p' after pkg_add -u could help: it will merge
@sample entries of ports in the same way it is done for etc base
files.

for people using `pkg_add -u' in rc.firsttime (via /upgrade.site), it
could be also useful to add the following line in /upgrade.site (after
pkg_add line): echo 'sysmerge -pb' >> /etc/rc.firsttime

and make sysmerge to deal automatically with what could be done
automatically (-b is batch mode).
