cvsup / buildworld builds the entire "system" but that means just the base system (the code that is considered part of FreeBSD proper), not the ports. Welll, depending on what you cvsup, you can update the ports themselves (that is, the porting info from /usr/ports), but not the applications that the ports install. (Did that make any sense?) You'd have update all of those yourself, and if you are at all like me, it would take w-a-y longer to update all of them than it did to build the "world" and the kernel.
