Well I am not sure about the "make: don't know how to make update" message.
I use cvsup to update src/ports/doc.
You need to add options to /etc/make.conf to use "make update"
Here is my cvsup related options in "/etc/make.conf"
-
SUP_UPDATE=yes
SUP=/usr/local/bin/cvsup # <- default installation for cvsup
SUPFLAGS=-g -L 2 # options for cvsup
SUPHOST=cvsup.uk.freebsd.org # the server to use
SUPFILE=path+filename to your src_all sup file
PORTSSUPFILE=path+filename to ports_all sup file
DOCSUPFILE=path+filename to doc_all sup file
-
Try man make.conf for more details. Good luck
