Usually a good idea - I do for everything other than mysql... mainly because
I had a problem with the ports when I started doing this four years ago, and
so went to hand build. I have no idea what optimisations the port makes
though. (though I do know that the recommended mysql.com 'full set' for
BSD does cause some locking up problems)

That would be excellent, thanks. I am going to hold off upgrading the
main production machines from 4.9 to 4.10 for now, just in case...
