OK. But just to make sure I understand it right - does this mean that if 
I upgrade to 5.3, then those ports that depend on some incompatible 
library or are written in C++ do not work until they are recompiled?

I'm aware that some of the library upgrades can be overcome with 
/etc/libmap.conf, but apparently this doesn't get it all.
