Sounds like you want to keep and up-to-date ports collection:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports-using.html

The easiest way is probably the cvsup method, if you wish to always have
access to the latest ports with a minimum of fuss. Combine that with
"portupgrade -arP" and you have a pretty efficient mechanism of upgrading
all your packages.
