Excessive dramatics aside, the short answer is yes.
The longer answer is that the process described in UPDATING (using
either portupgrade or portmaster) is painless. Also, if you don't do
the update now the next time you try to build a port that requires
libtool you _will_ have pain.
hope this helps,
