AFAIK, the only 5 thing called "stable" is 5-STABLE = RELENG_5, which, of course, is not stable; for that reason, you might try getting and trying it again -- you might have grabbed it at a bad moment, like between updates. And I'm not aware of a "5.3" tag other than "RELENG_5_3" (the latest bug-fix release) and RELENG_5_3_0_RELEASE (the original release). As for the ports, I doubt that you need to do anything, but it sounds from /usr/ports/sysutils/portdowngrade/pkg-descr that there's a way to revert ports as needed.
