If you're using the public repos and you're catching up to an increase 
in the default version, you can get pkg to migrate them by changing the 
origin.  See chapter 4.4.9 of the Handbook[1], but in short you change 
the origin of the ports, run a normal pkg upgrade, then reinstall any 
depending ports (postfixadmin, phpMyAdmin, etc.).
