Good advice thanks.  Here is my actual process of doing this for other
people new to FreeBSD if they would like to do the same.

#cp /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile .

(added proper mirror in the ports-supfile)

#cvsup -g -L 2 ports-supfile

Must have the portupgrade package in to run the portsdb command.
I could not run portsdb as it was not installed yet because
the portupgrade port was not installed.

#cd /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade  
#make install

#portsdb -Uu

read /usr/ports/UPDATING after you've updated your ports-tree
It is over 1,000 lines, but you can skim and look for software
that is on your system in case you upgrade that particular software.

#portupgrade clamav

Then you need to edit the new conf file as it's different.
Went from clamav.conf to clamd.conf...noticed that when 
skimming /usr/ports/UPDATING.

Note:
#portversion -l "<"
will provide you with a list of outdated installed ports/packages
