Do what it says.  Go to http://www.freebsd.org/ports/, download the
upgrade kit, and pkg_add it.

This was added because of the vast amount of questions about the
'fetch -A' option causing port compiles to puke and people not knowing
the upgrade kits existed.  If you're tracking the latest ports, you'll
need the upgrade kit in order to use them if you're running -RELEASE
or -STABLE.

I think Satoshi made the message pretty self explanatory ;)

You can find several of these answers, with varying harshness, in the
freebsd-questions archive. You could search for "cvsup your system is too
old" at:

  http://www.freebsd.org/search/search.html#mailinglists

Or, just to go the link mentioned (<http://www.freebsd.org/ports/>) and be
done with it.
