By "bringing the patch level up to date" I assume you mean a tag such as this one: *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_8_0 in your standard-supfile file, and then doing the "make buildworld" etc. prodedure outlined in the Handbook. The release branches (such as RELENG_8_0) get only very minor modifications from the time the release is made. The patches are only ones that address really serious issues, and the extent of the changes is usually very minimal. Whather you install ports before or after you update to the latest patch for your release should make absolutely no difference.
