I'd say you misunderstood the relationship here: please note that
FreeBSD releases as such have not very much to do with the up-to-date
state of third party software and dependencies in the ports tree. You
can have up-to-date ports tree and installed applications on the latest
release of both CURRENT and STABLE branches (that includes the CD you
have -- you would just pick up the latest ports tree instead of one
shipped on CD).

You can read:
