The part you're quoting begins with "This may ease the upgrade for users of
pre-build packages".  I don't use pre-built packages, and so did not do that. 
I instead proceeded to the next step, "For portmaster users", as I do use
portmaster.  That portmaster section -- nor any other applicable section --
does not say to change shell.

The way I followed these instructions is, I believe, consistent with a whole
lot of /usr/ports/UPDATING instructions that I have successfully used in the
past.  They often have different sections for users of different port
management schemes.
