No, make world doesn't build any of the ports; just the base system. Basically, that means that everything in /bin and /usr/bin and such is rebuilt by make world; the kernel is built when you build the kernel; but to build /usr/local stuff you have to go back and rebuild all the ports yourself. (Well, there's portupgrade, but I've never actually used so I can't vouche for how well it works or what exactly it does, and there may be other tools as well, but make buildworld only builds the "system" parts--that is, the stuff that's *not* in /usr/local/.....) What cvs *will* update (depending on your settings) is the port definition files; that is, /usr/ports itself; but it won't re-fetch the sources for the ported software, and make buildworld won't build those ports for you.
