You use patchadd to add patches, and pkgadd to add new packages. Check the manpage for those and you'll probably find what you need.

depends on whether or not the package install script can remove the old version first ...

if no, run a pkgrm on the package first and then do a pkgadd (see also "man pkgrm")

if yes, just run a pkgadd

Well patchadd just calls pkgadd so pkgadd is the ultimate tool there Smilie
