Also check out the howto thread in this forum. There's some good info. I recommend trying the upgrade procedure on a local box first if you can. It's not very difficult once you've done it a couple times but doing it remotely leaves little room for error.
You should still be able to run make install from the ports tree instead of using pkg_add.
