man ports has
-- It is possible to download and use ports from the FreeBSD repository that
are newer than the installed system; however it is important to install
the appropriate ``Upgrade Kit'' from http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/ first!
The portcheckout(1) (ports/ports-mgmt/portcheckout) script (also a port,
of course!) will help to download new ports.
Which as far as I know is not used that often.
Also man ports makes no mention of "make update" or portsnap.
Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
