please wrap your lines a bit(this was a very long line)

Install cvsup from the /usr/ports directory,
then read:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html

update your ports tree, install portupgrade, and use that..

(portupgrade package).

HTH,

The first thing you need to do is update your OS to a newer version
(i.e. 5.2.1) since the older version is unsupported and newer packages
will not work on it.  See http://www.freebsd.org/ports/ for details
about OS versions supported by the ports collection.
