Comment(by ssteinerX@…):

 It is not clear, to me, that I should have to updated anything to install
 a new port from my current set.

 If I'm installing a new port, shouldn't, the port referenced in my current
 set work with the rest of the stuff in the same set?

 Updating the whole tree (which I'm doing now with 'port upgrade outdated'
 is pulling lots of new versions of things that I've not tested with my
 various pieces of software (a new version of Python, for example).

 Shouldn't a stable set be able to just install a new piece of software
 from the same generation into itself?

 Maybe the newly updated set won't be broken for gimp, but it's certainly
 not obvious, to me, why it shouldn't have worked in the first place.
