Crontab can have this line to automatically do freebsd-update fetch, and send root a mail if any updates are available:
@daily                                  root    freebsd-update cron
And this to check for port updates:
@daily		root	portsnap fetch update && portversion -l "<"|mail -s "Port updates" root
