Upgrade installed ports using pointyhat packages

Pointyhat.freebsd.org is FreeBSD's package build farm. It builds packages across all platforms and releases. If there is ports broken then it will find.

As a side effect it has packages available for all releases and (Tier-1) platforms. Using these packages to upgrade will save time compiling ports yourself.

Here is how:

setenv PKG_SITES http://pointyhat.freebsd.org/errorlogs/i386-7-packages-latest/
portupgrade -PP {package name}
