Well, basically, cvsup with ports-all in the supfile will get the ports for the newest updates. Then, if you cd to /usr/ports you can run make all (i think) to make all the newest versions. Then you can make install to install them. The reason this isn't more automated is because newer isn't always better. ;-) You may want to try the new one first, or read the docs, before an automatic update. Also, you have to run make deinstall first before make install, or you may have more than one verion of libs, docs, even binaries....
