It is possible to monitor servers for outdated or vulnerable ports using Nagios and NRPE:
$ cat /usr/ports/net-mgmt/nagios-check_ports/pkg-descr Nagios Plugin to monitor your FreeBSD Ports Tree for updates or installed packages with known security vulnerabilities.
Install the port:
sudo portmaster /usr/ports/net-mgmt/nagios-check_ports/
Add the following line to /usr/local/etc/nrpe.cfg:
command[check_ports]=/usr/local/libexec/nagios/check_ports
And restart NRPE. Remember to add the check to the host on the Nagios server as well. In my install this is as simple as making the server a member of the freebsd_servers group.
