The thing I don't quite understand though is that if the ports tree gets refreshed, do the packages get upgraded or will I need to rebuild them??
The ports tree is just build instructions, so updating it doesn't update any installed applications. It does let you use a program to see which installed applications need to be updated, like pkg_version or portversion.
Here's a document I've been working on lately about upgrading ports. I'm not sure it's really there yet, but it covers the basics:
