[buug] how to update my ports makefiles and distinfo files

[johan]

in the FreeBSD handbook, read up on "cvsup."

Specifically, make sure you have cvsup installed, then run through  
the upgrade process. your other option is to simply grab the latest  
tarball of the ports directory from FTP, and overwrite your previous  
version.
