the second paragraph of the description:

[code]
     It is possible to download and use ports from the FreeBSD repository that
     are newer than the installed system; however it is important to install
     the appropriate ``Upgrade Kit'' from http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/ first!
     The portcheckout(1) (ports/devel/portcheckout) script (also a port, of
     course!) will help to download new ports.
[/code]

The portcheckout is now in ports/ports-mgmt/portcheckout
>How-To-Repeat:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ports&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+6.2-RELEASE&format=html

or 

man 7 ports
>Fix:
[code]
     The portcheckout(1) (ports/ports-mgmt/portcheckout) script (also a port, of
     course!) will help to download new ports.
