4.0.6 is still not as robust for me as 3.2.12, but it's now close and
the added features still make it a win for me. I have not had an actual
crash with 4.0.6, but I have had VMs simply deadlock.

The problems I have seen are all upstream, not FreeBSD specific. I see
the same issues when I use my Ubuntu VM running on Windows7. 4.0.6 is
MUCH more stable than 4.0.4.

I think it's reasonable to update the port.
