The ports tree is just build instructions, so updating it doesn't update any installed applications. It does let you use a program to see which installed applications need to be updated, like pkg_version or portversion. Here's a document I've been working on lately about upgrading ports. I'm not sure it's really there yet, but it covers the basics: http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/docs/html/portupgrade.html
