Hi,

I've read the documentation and it seems there's no pkg_upgrade or
pkg_update, or a way to install an updated/upgraded package. I'd like
to determine if that is indeed the case.

portupgrade -P or -PP

OK, since I had upgraded to 6.1-RELEASE, I used portsnap to get the
ports, then I used pkg_add -r to get portupgrade and then, as a test ran

portupgrade -PP expat

It failed to update expat however, because it kept looking in the
6.0-RELEASE paths. I presume this is because even though the binary
upgrade of the base to 6.1 went well, uname, etc., think I still have a
6.0 machine. So where is the *real* version id stored and how can it be
(should it be?) safely modified?

It's reported by the kernel, so if it's still saying 6.0-RELEASE then
that's what you're still running.
