You will have access to the newest ports tree through cvsup regardless  of 
what version of FreeBSD you are running. (As long as cvsup can run on it, 
that is ;)

Just make sure you check out the head of the ports tree (The "." tag), 
otherwise you will not get any ports.

Once you have cvsupped to the latest ports you can just rebuild any packages 
you need to upgrade through the ports system :)
