I'm running 4.73-linux on 4.0-STABLE

Auth's in Apache work just peachy, and just to be different ;-) I have
to say that seriously, this is probably the most stable NS has been for
me in a few years. Also, 4.73-linux runs better on FreeBSD than it does
on my linux box.

As for 'uninstalling' a port..
	1) 'pkg_info | more'   this will list all the packages you
	have installed

	2) 'pkg_delete <pkg name>'  will remove the package

	3) To reinstall just cd /usr/ports/<pkg name> and do 'make
	install'

Always keep in mind that if you are having trouble with a port, be sure
you have recently <that day> cvsup'd the ports collection. Then do a
make distclean and make install again in the pkg dir you want.
