Did you find some instructions somewhere telling you to run "make update" in /usr/ports? If so, they are wrong, this will not do what you want. Typical method of updating is to boot a new install kernel, install a snapshot, reboot, run sysmerge, reboot again, then run pkg_add -u with an appropriate PKG_PATH for the new version. Also note that -current has moved on from what will be the 5.6 release, you can not easily go back from -current to 5.6.
