Only the ports skeleton is updated. If you want to update/upgrade
your installed ports, you have to use something like
sysutils/portupgrade.

It's always safer to use ports-all, as most ports have dependencies on
ports outside its immediate tree. If you don't update all dependancies
you almost always have trouble building your desired port.
