Details in the handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/cutting-edge.html. Read _carefully_ before use :-) The ports system (ie software not in the base system) is managed differently. You may wish to read chapter IV of the handbook (http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/ports.html). Again, cvsup(1), which is described in the Cutting Edge (tm) as well as in cvsup(1), is your friend; it will allow you to update the ports "framework" (not the ports software as such). As to updating ported software proper, pkg_version(1) and the "c" option may be of some help. This topic has been dealt with at some length in this (and other) mailing lists: you might want to have a look at the archives (http://www.freebsd/org/mail).
