As long as your ports tree is up to date and you don't have anything threads-related in /etc/make.conf or /etc/libmap.conf, you should be ok. You will have to rebuild anything that uses threads, though, and that includes XFree86. If you have kde and/or qt installed it gets a little more complicated. > I've also had a few problems with a mammoth > drive my box.
