If you want to update the ports directory `cvsup' is the best to use.
If you are using the latest version of FreeBSD, then cvsup will be in the
default install or you have to install the package and run:

cvsup -L 2 -h cvsup3.FreeBSD.org
<http://cvsup3.freebsd.org/>/usr/share/examples/cvsup
/ports-supfile

For futher information check section 4.5 of Freebsd Handbook.
