The primary usage are the freebsd ports, whenever a port is detected 
that has an override in the dfports it will automatically resume there, 
well at least it should do that, read the README/UPDATING files in 
usr/src and in the root of the install cd, it contains detailed 
explanation there. Following this logic the portmanage apps should work 
the same, but to be sure you have to tried it yourself :-)
