neovim is already at 0.8.2 in -CURRENT, are you using 7.2-RELEASE
perhaps?

releases only get backport of security fixes more or less, the real
fun is in -CURRENT. See

https://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq5.html#Flavors

and the other FAQs for more info.

Otherwise, there's not a specific way to update an existing port.
Sometimes you're lucky and just bumping the version and rebuilding
works, other times needs more work (either due to new deps, other deps
to update, stuff to fix or to improve, ..., it really depends.) If
you're interested in porting I suggest to take a look at ports(7), the
FAQs on the website and follow ports@openbsd.org.
