Do you mean keeping your port tree up to date, or building software using
the port collection?
To keep your port tree up to date, use CVSup and make sure the following is
in your supfile:
ports-all tag=.
To build a port, simply go to that the proper directory and type 'make'; the
distfile will automagically fetched. For instance, if you wanted to build
Samba, you would:
# cd /usr/ports/net/samba && make && make install
