I misread it. For the ports, 4-5 months is a long time. The usual rule is to 
recvsup and get uptodate if you have a problem. There have been major 
releases since then. For example, the curent xpdf shows

Port:   xpdf-2.02
Path:   /usr/ports/graphics/xpdf
Info:   Display PDF files, and convert them to other formats
Maint:  DougB at FreeBSD.org
Index:  graphics print
B-deps: XFree86-libraries-4.3.0_5 expat-1.95.6_1 fontconfig-2.2.0 
freetype2-2.1.4_1 gettext-0.11.5_1 gmake-3.80 imake-4.3.0 libiconv-1.8_2 
open-motif-2.2.2_1 pkgconfig-0.15.0 t1lib-5.0.0
R-deps: XFree86-libraries-4.3.0_5 expat-1.95.6_1 fontconfig-2.2.0 
freetype2-2.1.4_1 imake-4.3.0 open-motif-2.2.2_1 pkgconfig-0.15.0 t1lib-5.0

In the 4-5 months, most of these have been updated.

Yes, I converted qd-2 in qt-2.
