I use a SH script to do something similar.

<script start>
#!/bin/sh
cvsup <supfile>   # update src/ports
portsdb –Fu   # fetch the index and update ports database
#portupgrade –avrR  # oops better to read /usr/ports/UPDATING before this
<script end>

I used this script in the past to update the ports and have
portupgrade do the rest. As you can see, I commented the third line
out after running into trouble for not reading /usr/ports/UPDATING.
