how can i update my installed software?

If the software is interdependent, then "make
update" will
take care of those too.

If yuo mean all installed packages on your system, you might
also have a look at the package "pkg_chk"
(pkgsrc/pkgtools/pkg_chk).
This may do what you want on a global basis.
