There are various ways, explained in the Handbook.
A lot of people tend to prefer CVSup.
This, on a machine connected to the Internet,
essentially boils down to:
a) Become root.
a.1) If not done before, install the latest package for cvsup.
This will give you the CVSup client.
b) Change your working directory to /usr/share/examples/cvsup
c) Run cvsup to update the ports tree:
# cvsup -g -L 2 -h cvsup.gr.freebsd.org ports-supfile
Of course, you need to choose a CVSup server closer to you
network-wise. The cvsup.gr.freebsd.org server is close to me,
but might be suboptimal for you.
