If you're using the public repos and you're catching up to an increase in the default version, you can get pkg to migrate them by changing the origin. See chapter 4.4.9 of the Handbook[1], but in short you change the origin of the ports, run a normal pkg upgrade, then reinstall any depending ports (postfixadmin, phpMyAdmin, etc.). 1: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/pkgng-intro.html
