What is then the best way to update a package using pkgsrc?

My initial installation goes:

    make
    make install
    make clean

Suppose the just build package is outdated (new version on the
server). How shall I proceed without killing all it depends on and/or
removing stuff so that I have to intervene manually after the update?

TIA
