Issue a 'pkg_version -cl'<' | grep -v echo | grep -v exit | sh' as root. This queries the package database (which includes installed ports), returns all necessary commands for upgrading those ports which are not up to date, and pipes the output to sh. Result: All ports & packages which are newer than the ones installed get rebuilt and installed. See http://www.freebsddiary.org/pkg_version.html for details.
