If you plan the upgrade to 8.2 then you have to rebuild all your ports.
So why updating the ports before the update?

# create list of all packages (for reference)
pkg_info -qoa | sort > ~/packages_74

# delete all packages
pkg_delete -a

Do the system upgrade, then build or install only the ports you want on the 8.2
