No, it doesn't. To upgrade the port system, you need to use cvsup. 
to use cvsup, it needs to be installed. An install of cvsup can be 
done in one of two (possibly more) ways:
 1) cd /usr/ports/net/cvsup
      make install
 This will install cvsup and its dependencies, according to what is
 in  your ports tree.
 2) pkg_add -r cvsup
 This downloads a pre-compiled version of cvsup and its
 dependencies, based on your operating system version.

Don't do that. That IMakefile is required to be named IMakfile. Is 
imake installed on your system?
 pkg_info |grep imake

Also, do you have gmake installed?

Go to the FreeBSD website and look at the handbook, also look at the 
FAQ, and the For Newbies section. On your computer, 
read /usr/src/UPDATING, /usr/ports/UPDATING,
Go to http://www.lemis.com/questions.html  and read there.
Go to http://www.freebsddiary.org/  and read there.

Hello A.R.

I think I've given you some place to at least get a handle on 
things. Perhaps you're trying to go to far, too fast, without going 
through the learning curve. What version of FreeBSD do you have 
installed? 

Don
