It is used like this: freebsd-update -r 9.0-RELEASE upgrade (i.e. not fetch) See also the handbook for a good explanation
You can use portmaster --list-origins to make a list of all root and leaf ports and use this to reinstall all ports after the upgrade. See man portmaster for a good example. Or you can use portmaster -af to recompile all ports.
