If you mean the 5.0-current version of the /usr/ports tree, there is no
such thing really.  There is only one version of the /usr/ports tree,
which works on both -current and the latest -stable.  (It works fine on
3-stable too, but I think it's only "guaranteed" to work on the latest
-stable.)  If you're talking about the pre-compiled packages, they are
different for each FreeBSD version.  (Though I guess you're not since
they're .tgz not .tar.gz.)
