Pre-pkgng, I did it via creepy magic sed'ery in /var/db/pkg; change
the origins, then a regular portupgrade/portmaster will see the newer
versions and run with it.  Post-pkgng, we can just use pkg set to
avoid some of the creepery.

I did the 55->56 on a machine about a month ago, and came up with the
below.  It just spits out the commands, then I can eyeball to be sure
they're right and C&P into a term.  Then check the 'pkg version',
should show all of them needing upgrades to 5.6.x.

#!/usr/bin/env perl
use strict;
use warnings;

# pkg query '%o' | grep php55 | $SELF

while(<STDIN>)
{
	chomp;
	my $old = $_;
	(my $new = $_) =~ s/55/56/;

	die "Couldn't find dir $new" unless -d "/usr/ports/$new";

	print "pkg set -yo $old:$new\n";
}
