My fbsd desktop is popping up with Software Update. My question is
weather this pulls updates from packages or ports.

There are a few applications, such as opera, that can "phone home" and
check for newer versions. Typically they can't upgrade because they lack
privileges.

Perhaps you could be a little less vague.

Software Update is provided by gnome-packagekit (or the kde equivalent) and will nag if updated packages are available.

To the op, according to http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2009-September/057056.html PackageKit was given support for ports using portupgrade or portaudit.
