Samba 2.2.8 and 3.x are separate; similar to FreeBSD4.x and 5.x, I
suppose.  You definitely want to check out portupgrade if you're wanting
to maintain software from the ports collection, but I'm afraid a

# portupgrade samba-2.2.8

will not get you the desired results.  Now, I
don't know if they're mutually exclusive, but you may want to install
Samba 3.x on another machine to test it first.  I use it here at home,
and yes the 3.x branch does introduce alot of functionality not found in
2.2.8.
