Yes, this will likely result in a significant amount of compiling depending
time from RELEASE and your chosen packages and whatever PACKAGESITE is set
to eg stable.  That is the price you pay for updated software on FreeBSD.

Also be sure to read /usr/ports/UPDATING

There are man pages and a handbook page which explain all this in detail.
