It depends. If your PIC is authoritative in the output and that the
lines switches from low to high and vice-versa in less than one PIC
clock, then you are safe. And this covers most cases.

Otherwise, you can use toggle on this port as PicForth as no way to
know what you put in the port last. You have to write your own toggle,
for example, if this is on port C that you're writing, you could have:

   variable latc
   :: report-latch latc @ portc ! ;
   :: latc-or! latc or! report-latch ;
   :: latc-/and! latc /and! report-latch ;
   :: latc-xor! latc xor! report-latch ;
   macro
   : >lat 1 swap lshift ;
   : latc-bit-set >lat latc-or! ;
   : latc-bit-clr >lat latc-/and! ;
   : latc-bit-toggle >lat latc-xor! ;
    target

Then you will be able to use a safe version of the port with:

  : foo 2 latc-bit-toggle ;   / Toggle pin C2

Which expands to:

          ; name: foo
          ; max return-stack depth: 0
  0x0016  3004    movlw   0x04
  0x0017  2812    goto    0x012   ; latc-xor!
