How are ports built now

[Paul Schmehl]

I'm an oldtimer, having used the port building system for years.  Recently 
I upgraded two servers to 8.4 and implemented the pkgng system.  Now, when 
I run portmaster -ad, it seems to keep reinstalling the same ports over and 
over again.

Is portmaster not the appropriate method for updating ports with pkgng? 
Are we forced to now go to binary packages only?
