Hi:

 You can follow the instructions here:
http://www.silbsd.org/cvsup_instructions2.html
However in step B change:
#
src-all tag=RELENG_4_8
#

to:

#
src-all tag=RELENG_4_9
#

I also urge you to read Section 9 of the FreeBSD handbook:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html

and section 22:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cutting-edge.html

The FreeBSD handbook is the authority on accepted admin and
configuration practices.

I would also suggest reading this before updating your ports collection:
http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2003/08/28/FreeBSD_Basics.html

In fact the entire FreeBSD Basics series is quite good:
http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/ct/15

Books I would recommend :
 "FreeBSD: An Open-Source OS for your PC"
http://www.bsdmall.com/freebosforyo.html

The Complete FreeBSD
