Default Need to update my FreeBSD...help

My system specs:
  • FreeBSD: 4.8
  • PHP: 4.4.2
  • Apache: 1.3
  • MySQL: 3.23.55
  • CPU: P2 300mhz
  • HDD: 300GB
  • Host: Me. This is a hobby server hosted in my home
Plain and simple I'm GROSSLY outdated on things. I built this server back in 2006, and since then I got horribly lazy. Recently the need has arisen for me to update things. I would like to update the server (install newer version of FreeBSD, so on and so forth). I HAVE read the tutorial at freebsd.org, and even read freebsddiary.org. However neither one seems to address the issue I'm running into.

My issue:
The issue is that I can't install cvsup. According to http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO...ook/cvsup.html & http://www.freebsddiary.org/cvsup.php it should be pretty simple to install it. However when I follow the methods provided at either site I get the following:
Attempting to install cvsup-without-gui:
Code:
"/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk", line 2303: warning: String comparison operator should be either == or !=

"/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk", line 6125: Need an operator
make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue
I'm betting there's a problem with bsd.port.mk (hrm....ya THINK?!?!?!?!)

I downloaded ports.tar.gz from ftp.freebsd.org and unpacked it. With a brand new bsd.port.mk in /usr/ports/Mk/, the issue is exactly the same (see "code" segment above).

Any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong?
