By the way, I am the pkgsrc bugs handler this week.

To list new package versions for packages you have installed (assuming pkgsrc tree is up-to-date):

pkg_info -Q PKGPATH -a | while read p ; do cd $p && bmake show-var    VARNAME=PKGNAME ; cd ${OLDPWD} ; done

(Really that lists all, but could easily be diffed against current installed to show what could be updated.)
