I don't have a whole lot of *BSD experience, I can never seem to get 
comfortable in them.  I think Irix and Linux ruined me.  But if I 
understand correctly, make world rebuilds everything you have built 
from ports, right?  In that case,

BSD "make world" == Gentoo "emerge -e world"

However, if it only rebuilds things that have newer versions, that 
would be "emerge -u world"

Cheers,
