Running portupgrade is good, but only half of the process :)

You also need to get your ports tree to stay up to date, try using
portsnap, csup or cvsup (in that order). As it probably will be the
first time you run it, portsnap fetch, portsnap extract, and after that,
regularly run portsnap fetch, portsnap update.
