Is there a way we can better document this or perhaps change the functionality?

We could slip an option into sync so that it does selfupdate unless you pass it an argument (e.g., sync --portsonly). This will not force users to be re-educated and it will provide the benefit of ensuring people are upgrading correctly.

The best might be to remind users that call "port sync" that "port selfupdate" is the "usual" next step in updating ports. i.e. "port sync" would end by displaying something like

"Portfiles successfully updated. To upgrade installed ports to their latest versions, please run port selfupdate."
