What I do is use pkgsrc from CVS, and generally update to the latest
stable eg. pkgsrc-2015Q4, and then update individual packages to HEAD.
(Actually, in the lead up to and during freeze, I update all to HEAD and
rebuild everything and complain/fix about issues.)
It is usually ok to have an updated pkg with older everything else.
What does not work is to update complicated things that interact with
files under mk/ without updating mk also. Usually newer mk is ok as
well.
