Sometimes updates are not trivial tasks and various port management tools can not do it automatically. At first, I'd recommend you to use ports- mgmt/portmaster -- it's well maintained and works flawlessly for me. Check it manpage and example section. Before running any portupgrade tool it's worth to read /usr/ports/UPDATING: it covers cases that can't be resolved without manual interventions, and gives some useful tips. If you update ports very seldom, it can be more easy deinstall all ports and reinstall what you want (portmaster can help here too ;). Finally, if you still have problems with update, describe what you attempt to do, post you build log and hopefully we can help you.
