There are sections on these topics in the FreeBSD Handbook. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html Specifically, installing new ports has its own section http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports.html and for getting updates (generally through cvsup rather than directly accessing cvs remotely), see the section on the "cutting edge": http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cutting-edge.html
