It's not easy. If we update to latest development releases, we need to patch some libraries (x11/libexo) or remove some defaults options (especially in Thunar).

I think it's better to keep ports tree the more "functional" particularly -HEAD branch (stable branch synchronizes with it).

But if you want to test it, I wrote documentation in order to update Parole [1] (and other core libraries).
