One of the distinctions that freebsd makes that linux does not is  
between the base system and 3rd party software. Hence you will find no  
unified tool that upgrades everything like apt does for debian. The  
link above explains how to deal with 3rd party software. For the  
kernel and base system check out freebsd-update.
