Nope. Look for a file "ports-supfile" on your system. You can make a copy e.g. to /root and then run it with # pkg_add -r cvsup-without-gui # cvsup ports-supfile Be sure to install the Port "portupgrade" and read it's manpage. It is a great tool! # pkg_add -r portupgrade With portupgrade you can even upgrade all ports at once: # portupgrade -rRPv \* Have fun! P.S.: Chapter 4 of the FreeBSD handbook.
