That's correct. Upgrading the base system usually doesn't require
you to upgrade your applications as well. The freebsd-update
binary updating program takes care of everything.

The ports collection can be installed via sysinstall. Choose
configure - distributions - ports. The /usr/ports subtree will then
be installed.

You can first use pkg_delete to delete it, e. g.
# pkg_delete -x samba
and then re-install it from packages, e. g.
# pkg_add -r samba
See "man pkg_add" and "man pkg_delete" to make sure you're understanding
that you're doing the right thing.
I'm not sure if you need to explicitely add a version number for
samba as I am not using it.
