Getting current ports and packages.

I am trying to figure out why I am not getting the lasted packages.  I 
am trying to get ImageMagick 6.2.0.5, which according to freshports is 
the latest, but when I do "pkg_add -r ImageMagick", I get 6.0.6.2.

I have run cvsups, which I believe gets me the latest ports, is there 
an equivalent for packages?  I was under the impression that they 
always got the latest?

As far as ports, do I just need to run cvsups to keep it up-to-date?

All this is a little confusing: ports, packages, cvsups, portupgrade, 
etc... :-)

Can someone point me to some clear docs on all this?  I have spent 
hours looks at the freebsd docs, but it's just not clicking for me.

I just want to make sure I am running the most recent version of mysql, 
php4, apache, etc, but am really unclear how to get and upgrade ports 
and packages.

Ron
