If you use portupgrade to manage your ports (recommended), you will then need to execute "portsdb -Uu" to rebuild your INDEX.db file.
To answer your question below, there is only one ports tree. So, even if you are following -STABLE for the base code, you will still follow the HEAD tag (-CURRENT) for the ports tree. So you generally cvsup twice, once for /usr/src and once for /usr/ports. The ports tree is generally pretty stable, so it works out just fine.
There are refinements to this procedure if you have many machines or want to keep a copy of the whole CVS tree (for looking at CVS logs, etc). Read the development(7) man page for an example.

Hi!
A similar topic has been disscused here several days ago, but I still don't
understand, how correctly update ports tree via cvsup. I have installed
4.9-release. I upgraded to -stable according to
/usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile (I have changed only '*default
host=...' line, all rest I kept untouched) and I done make world and kernel... I understand well how to upgrade system, but my questions about ports are:
1) Is it ok to upgrade ports, or do I have keep ports instaled from -release CD?
2) If I should upgrade ports, how exactly? Which file from examples I should use and how I need to modify it? There is nothing about ports upgrade in stable-supfile and ports-supfile deals about -current. Is it enough to use
cvs-supfile from examples directory, change a cvsup server and comment out 'doc-all' and 'cvsroot-all', isn't it?
Sorry for (maybe) stupid questions; I read comments in stable-supfile and handbook, but this is still not clear for me.
