This patch contains a few minor style nits to make the later FAQ
entries consistent with previous entries.  Also fixed broken URL
for 4.0-current ports and mentioned wher 3.0-stable ports can be
found.  Also added entry about what to do when a new port won't
compile under -stable.

+      <p> If you're running a release version that lags significantly
+      behind -current or -stable, you will require a ports upgrade kit
+      from <url url="http://www.freebsd.org/ports"
+      name="http://www.freebsd.org/ports">.  If you are up to date,
+      then, someone running only on a -current box might have
+      committed a change to the port which broke it with 3.x.  Please
+      submit a bug report on this with send-pr since the -current
+      ports collection is supposed to work with both the -current and
+      -stable branches.
