pkmanager:

http://www.scode.org/pkgmanager/

Quote from homepage:

  There is currently only one method (to my knowledge) of updating
  packages in in pkgsrc - using make update (which is what pkg_chk -u does
  aswell). Unfortunately, it will begin by removing all packages that
  require the package being updated.
  [...]
  pkgmanager attempts to alleviate these problems by upgrading all
  packages "in place" without needing to remove all packages that require
  the package being upgraded.
