That works. But usually requires that the packages requiring libxml2 to be 
uninstalled first (and that could be many).

I don't know if there is a "right" way.

I also keep binary packages made so I can quickly reinstall packages as 
needed and I use "make bin-install" to use them. (Sorry this is briefly 
explained, I don't have much time now.)

On many packages, I often just do "make replace". But this can cause many 
problems if you don't know what other packages need. It is suggested by 
many that "make replace" should not be used.

You can also use "make update" in libxml2 and it will attempt to deinstall 
all the packages and reinstall them. But sometimes it forgets :)

You can also use various pkgsrc tools to help update your packages.

We need a webpage that highlights these tools and techniques with a few 
examples. Our mailing list archives have many examples but it may take 
some time to dig them all out :(
