For the above I have decided on the following implementation:

OVS:
eval {
    ovs-vsctl add-port $bridge vlan$port tag=$port -- set interface
    vlan$port type=internal
};
die "vlan$port: Could not add to bridge $bridge" if ($@);
eval {
    if ($ip and $mask) ? ifconfig vlan$port $ip netmask $mask up :
    ifconfig vlan$port $ip up;
};
if ($@) {
    ovs-vsctl del-port $bridge $port;
    die "vlan$port: Could not bring up interface";
} 
eval {
    update /etc/network/interfaces
};
if ($@) {
    ifconfig vlan$port down;
    ovs-vsctl del-port $bridge $port;
    die "vlan$port: Could not update network config";
};

Something missing above?
