Does that mean you were using PBIs and/or AppCafe? If so, it seems we both have the same problem. I have a couple of fat, rarely-used applications installed as PBIs (libreoffice, firefox, calibre, gimp) and haven't been able to update them in quite a while.
I was considering installing them from ports, but I thought I'd look into the current state of PC-BSD PBIs first. From what I've read it seems that only x86-64 systems are supported. Also, I read a long time ago that the new pkg (pkgng) was going to support some kind of self-contained installation mode (a la PBIs) but that doesn't seem to have happened. Therefore, it seems you and I have three options:
1. In case you have a 64bit-capable system, you might want to migrate from i386 (32-bit mode) to amd64 (64-bit mode).
2. Uninstall the PBIs and install everything from ports.
3. Continue to use your currently installed, but out-of-date PBIs.
