/usr/ports/textproc/flex port didn't replace existing flex install

I'm running:

FreeBSD freebsd-82-amd64.localdomain 8.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE #0: Thu Feb 17 02:41:51 UTC 2011     root at mason.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64

I need to update flex for building postgresql-9.0.3 from source.

I installed the latest port (flex-2.5.35_4) from /usr/ports/textproc/flex. 

When I flex --version, I still get the old version of flex (2.5.4).

Is there some other place I need to set the path to flex?

Respectfully,
Jeff.
