Compiling a newer version of software

You'd have to update the port (and then compile it locally (or using poudriere)).
The porter's handbook is your friend.

However, complex ports, such as blender, are not exactly easy to manage. There are usually reasons why they are "lacking behind".
You'd be best off checking bugzilla first.

If you manage to update the port successfully, a patch submitted via bugzilla is welcomed.
