I guess I was lucky in that all my "important" ports: postfix, 
amavisd-new, cyrus-imapd, mod_php, mysql40-server and apache2 survived 
the OS upgrade without the need to re-compile them. I *am* still 
planning to re-compile them anyway, I'm just glad I didn't *have* to do 
it all in one night.

Just wanted to record this as a data point in the list archives, in case 
someone else is looking at a same sort of upgrade.
