It looks like there is a typo in the first line, it probably should read

#!/bin/sh

("#" seems to be missing).

I'm sure, there are many answers that you received already. Here is just
what I do to update everything that comes from ports:

portsnap fetch exctract

portupgrade -acy

that's all. It may be useful to also install portdowngrade  - in case you
ever need to roll something back to the version you had before you run
portupgrade.
