What is the best way to update all the ports?
Either you use pkg_add to update your ports from the snapshot directory on
the ftp server (set PKG_PATH to the right directory, AFAIR it is described in
the FAQ) or you can try a "little" Perl script I wrote. It builds ports (in
parallel builds if you wish) in the correct build order and updates the
installed packages. Instructions how to get the script can be found here:

I would like to hear either success or failure reports from those using the
script.
I can recommend this script if official binary packages aren't
an option. The script works fairly well for building from source.
