Could you use "pkg_version -vL =" for your purpose ? It's a base

If all you want to know is what ports need updating, portmaster has an
option for that. There is also an alias to abbreviate the output in
the man page.
pkg_version is somewhat faster.
True, but 'portmaster -L' (with a ports tree) gives you more
information. Such as when ports you have installed have been DEPRECATED
or MOVED. :) 'portmaster -L --index-only' is very competitive in terms
of wall clock time with any other method.
