These aren't upgraded when you `make world', and must be dealt with manually. Read the tutorial: http://www.nothing-going-on.demon.co.uk/FreeBSD/make-world/make-world.html I also prefer to synchronise my source trees via `make update' (with a properly-modified make.conf), and use `make buildworld' and `make installworld', rather than `make world', but these are matters of individual preference.
