If you can assure that no other game or application from the ports
fails, I would say go for it, but the 1.2.10 version had some major
changes, so it's possible that another port uses a 1.2.10 specific
feature.

Usually the most binary ports ship the SDL library they link against,
don't those you tested out do that?
