Can't you do this if you have the right make targets (e.g. check binary 
packages first) and pkg_rolling-replace?

I think the problem you mean is more is 'mass upgrades from binary 
packages in a remote location' ..

I think yeah - a lot of pkgsrc folks have a site-local 
/usr/pkgsrc/packages hanging out in their automounter somewhere ..
