  Use portupgrade with the -PP switch to force the use of packages.
 

 What if there isn't a package for a given port? I wasn't aware
 there were packages (though I suppose for an ancient release
 like 4.9 there might be).

How is 4.9 ancient?  It's the most recent release supported for production
use. (Refer to http://www.freebsd.org if you doubt this.)

You can find all the packages you want for 4.9 at
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.9-RELEASE/packages

Thanks. I'll see if those will work.
