no problem, I just replied to that and I almost guessed you might have missed 
the binaryness. My experience of the binary update process is fairly positive, 
but there have been glitches eg my lsof didn't get updated along with a kernel 
and I now see stuff like

lsof: WARNING: compiled for FreeBSD release 6.0-RELEASE; this is 6.0-SECURITY.

when using it. I suppose things like lsof needing to be recompiled are an 
implied dependency and may be hard to find.
