Theoretically yes, I run -current for nearly a year, but sometimes
there are phases, where -current (if you update regulary) can bring
you into an inconsistant state. This isnīt wanted in a production
environment.
Another thing is, that the ports collection seem to focus on
-STABLE. Then you have some extra work to spend in installing
certain applications, mainly tcl/tk based ones (scotty, ...).
If I were you Iīd install 2.2.2 now, upgrade the sources to
2.2-STABLE, do a make world and then install inn and other
applications from the ports collection.
