Hello, very good mornig!
How to correctly update the system to the latest version knowing that the system is built with binary packages in the latest version and packages from ports installed in the same way in ufs files?
# uname -a

Code:

FreeBSD bsd.domain.acmoncn 11.2-RELEASE-p5 FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE-p5 #0: Tue Nov 27 09:33:52 UTC 2018     root@amd64-builder.daemonology.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64

First. Make sure you have a backup / image.
Next ..

https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/updating-upgrading-freebsdupdate.html

You will want these sections:
23.2.3. Performing Major and Minor Version Upgrades
23.2.3.2. Upgrading Packages After a Major Version Upgrade

Did I mention you need to start with a backup?
