Make sure PACKAGEROOT is properly set (typically to
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8-stable/Latest
or *amd64* respectively) and your ports tree is up
to date. You can then use portmaster with its -P and -PP
options and do a full upgrade as described in the
EXAMPLES section of "man portmaster".

It should. :-)

That's basically what "man portmaster" says, even though
the options are different and allow more flexibility.
