Well, it won't. The README.html files are only created when you build
them yourself.

If you want them to be as up to date as possible, then yes.
ports/INDEX is updated be cvsup, but since the file itself is only
regenerated on a semi-regular basis it will often be a few weeks out of
date.  If this is a problem for you, you should rebuild it yourself.
