you update your ports collection, before attempting any port upgrades.

+ AFFECTS: users of CURRENT
+ AUTHOR: bapt@FreeBSD.org
+
+ The ports tree is now using pkgng as the default package manager
+ for HEAD. This only affects users of CURRENT -- users of other
+ branches need not take any action.
+
+ To keep pkg_install as the default package manager, use the new
+ WITHOUT_PKGNG knob in make.conf
+
+ To make the switch:
+
+ 1/ Set WITHOUT_PKGNG=yes in make.conf and upgrade all your ports to
+ the latest available versions using your favourite tools.
+
+ 2/ Install ports-mgmt/pkg
+
+ 3/ Remove WITHOUT_PKGNG from make.conf and run
+
+ # pkg2ng
+
