If the existing version was installed from FreeBSD ports, you can do something like this to uninstall it: pkg_delete amanda-client-2.4.3b2 pkg_delete amanda-server-2.4.3b2 Then update your ports tree (see the FreeBSD handbook for details) And then... cd /usr/ports/misc/amanda-client make AMANDA_USER=amanda AMANDA_GROUP=backup install I know everyone here recommends that you get the latest source tarball and build Amanda yourself from that, but the FreeBSD ports have worked really well for me, FWIW.
