What you probaby need to do is either:

1. Go to "Options" in the main menu of sysinstall, and change "Release Name" to 4.2-RELEASE.  THe ports are the same for the entire 4.x branch, so you will be OK

2. Use cvsup to sync your ports tree.  If find this the easiest, anyway, but it's all a matter of taste.  To install cvsup:

cd /usr/ports/net/cvsup
make all install clean

You can find documentation on cvsup at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/cvsup.htnl
