for the base OS (kernel and core are same thing, unlike gnu/linux), use 
freebsd-update. If you compiled your own kernel, then it will skip updating 
the kernel only, in which case just csup /usr/src and recompile anyway

for ports, there are many methods. Read the ports section in the handbook. 
personally I use prt-mgmt/portupgrade.
