 Actually ports should not use a "latest" tarball, and should instead
 always use a versioned or dated tarball, as graphviz-devel does. Otherwise
 there would be no certainty that the tarball you got when you installed
 the port was the same one I got when I made the portfile. And we want that
 certainty, so much so that each portfile has checksums of the distfile so
 that if you get a different file, you get a checksum mismatch error and
 cannot proceed.

 The Graphviz developers release a new development snapshot daily. I update
 the graphviz-devel port about weekly. To get these and all other updates,
 you do need to periodically run "sudo port selfupdate" or "sudo port sync"
 as Frank showed. Then you can use "port outdated" to see what's outdated,
 and "sudo port upgrade" to upgrade any or all of those ports.
