I did a lot of this work, when I did have the time: http://sourceforge.net/projects/fpkg/ Supports upgrading (doesn't move the files to compat, but that would be a five line change), backups, db files, versioned depends, pkg_which. Just about all of the ideas on that page, but not command line compatible with portupgrade. I haven't played with it in years. It would need all of the pkg_install features and fixes from about 2004 (or maybe earlier) merged in (or reimplemented).
