The OpenBSD project does not recommend building ports unless there are specific reasons for doing so. Building ports results in the creation of packages which are then installed. These packages are the very same as the packages already prebuild & available on the various mirror sites.

You were pointed yesterday to the pkg_add(1) manpage. There you will find information on the -u switch. Similar information can be found in Section 15.2.6

Those who compile ports themselves are expected to understand that updates will require updating the ports tree via CVSup or AnonCVS followed by rebuilding. Uninstalling the previous version may be required in some instances.

It would be truly worth your time to study Section 15 which covers the package system.
