I don't think there is an exact equivalent to the apt-get commands you mentioned. Keep in mind the distinction between the base system and third-party software (ports) in FreeBSD land.

There are source (rebuilding world) and binary (freebsd-update) options for upgrading the base system. There are numerous ways to upgrade your ports.

Can you explain what you're aiming to accomplish here apart from upgrading for the sake of upgrading? (Is there a certain port you need a security fix for, or the latest version of? etc.)
