Yes. (your question should be in FAQ)
Another way to upgrade bmake and other bootstrap packages is to make
a binary package first:
$ make package USE_DESTDIR=full
$ su -
<enter your password>
# pkg_add -u bmake
I assume that PKG_PATH in set properly in root's .profile or somewhere.
In my view, potentially this method is better but now it leaves two bmakes
(old and new) in PKGDB (pkg_install-20081013).
