Firstly, please wrap your lines at ~72 chars.
Since you are running -STABLE and using cvsup (as I am) then just
continue tracking -STABLE. 4.0-S will become 4.1-S which will become
4.2-S and they will always be slightly "ahead" of the corresponding
-RELEASE.

Occasionally run ``pkg_version -v'' to see which of your installed
ports are out of date. ``pkg_version -c'' will produce a script (use
with caution, there is a bug in it - PR bin/18176) to u/g those that
are out of date.
