There is no such thing as a "simple downgrade". :-)

The primary goal of the new pkg system is to provide as
"bleeding edge" possible in binary precompiled form, with
the ability of binary upgrades. Switching to older versions
has not been a direct concern, I think.

Correct. The portdowngrade program relies on the ports infra-
structure and requires you to build things yourself. I think
this will be the easiest way to go.
