I use 6.2 GENERIC.MP#2 amd64 (notice the #2) which means that my kernel got recompiled twice and that is because the OpenBSD team pushed to patches to it
The current
-stable version is based on the release 6.2 and has already received 3 updates (
https://www.openbsd.org/errata62.html) in order to fix bugs, security, etc...
You shouldn't wait for the release 6.3 in order to get those problems fixed.
is what you should use to keep your base system up-to-date. You could also do it manually: patch you system, recompile but that is tedious and unecessary for a lot of systems.
Concerning the ports, you can read the man pages or the links provided above. Again, you can sync with cvs repo, then recompile the concerned ports.
Or you cna use openup provided by M:Tier. It is not official but the team behind are also OpenBSD devs.
Basically to update both you system + ports:
