It should be trivial to update your kernel config and rebuild and 
install the new kernel.  Remember to reboot when you are done.

Not installing and deinstalling, but updating.  I use cvsup and 
portupgrade about once a week to keep my system up to date.  If you are 
running a production system and don't, then you are putting yourself and 
your users at risk (especially on systems running lots of applications). 
  I am not running a production system btw this is just for my home system.
