If the existing version was installed from FreeBSD ports, you can do
something like this to uninstall it:

pkg_delete amanda-client-2.4.3b2
pkg_delete amanda-server-2.4.3b2

Then update your ports tree (see the FreeBSD handbook for details)

And then...

cd /usr/ports/misc/amanda-client
make AMANDA_USER=amanda AMANDA_GROUP=backup install

I know everyone here recommends that you get the latest source tarball
and build Amanda yourself from that, but the FreeBSD ports have worked
really well for me, FWIW.
