Can't help you with Plesk, but the last good ports collection is now
tagged RELEASE_4_EOL. You can cvsup using that tag. After that any
upgrades are on you. Also bear in mind that security fixes are no
longer supported on that branch. All of the 4.x build tools have been
removed from the tree, so ports after that will not build.
As for a production server, you should do a clean build on another
server and migrate your files over. There have been significant
filesystem improvements since 4.x and just doing an update will not
get you the benefits.
As for a version 6.2 is much preferred over 5.x.
