Read about -u for pkg_add (man pkg_add).

When a new release comes out, I reset my PKG_PATH and run:
pkg_add -u -F update -F alwaysupdate -F updatedepends

You should only use ports if you are developing them, or if a package
is not available (due to licensing issues for example).

Hope that helps.
