Thanks!  The funny thing is, I do in fact already use their monitoring,
however, I never noticed that utility to upload the output from
pkg_info, that's pretty slick.  Notification was not my primary goal,
but rather a secondary benefit of having a tool to update specific
ports.

doesn't quite solve your problem, but http://www.freshports.org/ has a
feature
whereby you send it output from pkg_info and it emails you daily letting
you
know when the port has been updated. (you still have to manually
download the
port, or update your tree)
