You'll need to run 'emerge sync' when you're connected to the net. You can then do 'emerge -U world' to get a list of packages that could be upgraded. To update a package, do 'emerge -U --fetchonly whatever' to download the sources. You can then disconnect and do 'emerge -U whatever'. If you don't sync, though, you'll not see any new packages, because portage won't know about them.
