This is the "I'm lucky" case. Most probably you need 3-5 full port build runs until everyting which worked before works after the update too. But the ports tree is already tagged for 6.0 and the cluster is building the packages for every architecture. I also don't think we should switch the default such short before a release without important reasons (like the security reason which was the cause of the change from 7.x to 8.0). Luckily I had much of the work for the 7.x -> 8.0 transition done already (several hours spread over several months), but Kris and I spend several hours at Christmas to get it into a shape which we could ship. If you have a newer linux_dri version which works with linux_base-8, we can update the port and ask portmgr if they can update the release-packages.
