To say what he said a bit more nicely, do a quick read on cvsup in the
freebsd handbook. When you've read and understand, make a supfile that
updates your ports tree to your liking with tag=.
Then I'd suggest doing the following:
pkg_add -r cvsup-without-gui
pkg_add -r fastest-cvsup
pkg_add -r portinstall
pkg_add -r portupgrade
pkg_add -r portdowngrade
pkg_add -r portsmanager
fastest_cvsup
cvsup -g -L2 -h (server returned above) your-supfile
portmanager -s
That will give you the state of your ports tree currently.
To deal with firefox specifically:
portinstall www/firefox
to upgrade later
portupgrade www/firefox

Why aren't you compiling this from the port? With a port someone has already
gone to the trouble of making FreeBSD specific patches to fix things like
configuration issues. Is there a reason for trying to re-invent all those
wheels?
