Will this "keep" across a "make update", or do I need to re-do

I'm not familiar with using "make update" and I don't see any
info on
it in man ports.
I run "make update" from /usr/src - it updates /usr/src, /usr/
ports, etc.
portupgrade updates the information in /var/db/pkg. If make update
doesn't change /var/db/pkg, then the two will not affect one another,
for better or for worse.
What "make update" does is run cvsup for you based on your settings
in /etc/make.conf of which SUPFILES to use for updating your system.
It has not much to do with portupgrade other than updating the ports
tree.
