    Ok try:
    #portupgrade snort
    You don't need the version numbers if portupgrade finds a newer version it
    will install it for you. Afer a cvsup I usually do a
    #portupgrade -arR
    That upgrades all the installed ports with newer versions if they are
    found.

    Hope this is of some help.
