It is a little mind boggling. Unless required I wouldn't even recompile
my ports when moving a system from 6.3 to 6.4. In fact I've got an
internal system here that started life as 5.3 BETA and have been
upgraded all the way to 7.4 via 6.4 with pretty much no downtime apart
from the installworld part of the source upgrade. All the 5.x compiled
ports ran fine on the 7.4 system until I got round to recompiling them.
