More or less - you probably might want to 'portupgrade -P' instead, which will 
use packages if they are available and build from source if they aren't. Just 
make sure that PACKAGESITE points to the correct location (pkg_add only looks 
in the packages-*-stable directories if you're actually running -STABLE - on 
-RELEASE, you have to set the environment variable).
